Waiting?
Sheeshhhhhhhhhhhh, it's worse than waiting for a bus in the rain in London 
- and they at least arrive every 20 mins or so.
Even a London Underground tube strike is quicker........

Lower Salinity will cause the skimmer to work less so thats out the window.
What skimmer is it ? there are a few skimmers out there which when it comes to setup are a bit funny. Think of the settings being on a knife edge, where at the same physical setting the water level changes inside the skimmer due to pressure changes inside the chamber.
1018 is fine for almost all bacteria so not that ether
But afa the macro spores I would say that is the most likely cause for sure once these nutrients hit the skimmer its gona have some work to do.
It's a ts2 but it seems to be running fine now.
LOL thats one of the skimmers I have found this very problem with as well as the TS1 due to same design and then also the old boyu skimmers and a few others. They build up pressure inside which keeps the bubble level low then when that pressure reaches a point where it is exhuasted then the pressure inside is low and the bubble level rises on its own. I have found in most cases that this is when the skimmer is close to being set right.
But I still think your problem was high nutrients cause by macro alg spores
Also I have kept pipe fish in the past and they are great. I have often had good results on feeding them some of the high protein coral foods which come in those small jars. Cant rem the name but when feeding the corals the pipe fish seemed to all come out and have a chow. Just observe the current and how it distributes the food around the tank. Not to fast and not to slow ether.
Enjoy
Any way to sort that problem out? Should I raise the skimmer?
Could have been macro spores as at the time most of the macro was dying off.
Had experience with ponies so wanted to give the pipes a chance now maybe a pony or 2 as well.
You can give it a vent hole in the lid of the cup. That way the pressure inside is equal to the atmospheric prs
It already has a hole in the lid... 6mm to be exact...

Anytime bud!
Nominating this thread for TLNPT of the month (the longest no photo thread)
couldnt help but laugh.
So got some disapointing news today, I contacted the LFS who was bringing in the Messmate pipes & he said nothing that was ordered for that shipment came in so now I'll have to wait even longer until I manage to get some maybe from another LFS.
So here's a little update where the tank is now...
