Less water movement/cessation of water movement led to more strand formation in my case. I can't say there were necessarily more, just slightly more visible. If left off for longer than about the 20 mins I had done, they may have possibly receded as you observed.
Beyond that, I'd have to say that your observations correlate well with mine so far.

It's been like this for a week or a week and a half and still no sign of Dino's returning.

Be cautiously optimistic. A week is a very short amount of time with this particular pest.
