Hi all, I just received my mcp355 pump and I accidentally run the pump dry to test if it works or not. But, just now, I watched a video in youtube telling that you SHOULD NOT run your pump dry..I'm scared!Am I ruining my pump? T.T I'm so screwed!

It should be ok, as long as you didnt run it for a significant amount of time. It can handle some abuse but yea its not recommended.
Only way to find out for sure is to run the pump in your loop!
