I don't see it hurting as far as 'bad critters' goes, but it will also kill off good bacteria. And especially since they aren't multiplying as much when it's fallow, my thought is, unless you are in a hurry, it may cause some unwanted die off.
Wouldn't most bad critters die off eventually on their own?

They will, but there also isn't any appreciable amount of good bacteria in the water column to worry about. Not really in a rush, other than getting the remaining goby out...
