I'm putting the waterbox aside for awhile. Are there any good practices to follow to ensure that algae/corrison doesn't grow/occur in the tubes/blocks/pumps/and rads?

Thanks much,
Froz

just bleed out all the water, and flush out your system. then you wont need to worry about algae/corrosion.

Should i use a hair dryer to dry it or anything? I thought I had all the water bled out of it when I moved yet my tubes turned all white and junk started growing anyhow. I just cleaned all that out and would rather not do it again once i get back to it.
 
I second the fill and seal method.

Air is more likely to give organisms the chance to grow than a system that is filled with liquid, and even more so if the liquid contains additives that prohibit growth.
