Hi Russ,

Don't worry it will be OK and even if it dries out it will still be OK when it goes back into a functional system.

Not exactly K1 but I have a buddy who had a commercial koi breeding facility. His show tanks worked with large trickle towers which were shut down in the off season for months on end. Despite this they would cope with a full tank of koi within a day or two of start up he claimed.

I think your K1 may take a little hit but should bounce back very fast. I wouldn't worry at all.
