Every morning there is a dust like substance on the bottom of the aquarium glass above the sand level I was told this was copepods but want to verify that is for sure what it is? I scrape them off with the mag float but the next day they are back. I seeded the tank with them before I introduced fish several weeks ago

Usually, you will see Copepods on the glass as little white specks and move around erratically. A video would help to identify.

Tiny hard crustaceans? Like tiny hard calcification specks?

Either snail eggs or tiny tube worms. Both unsightly but completely inert. If anything, a sign that the ecosystem is rockin n rolling
