You should be absolutely fine.

I figured as much. I am not re-using any media, or anything just the fixtures. Was wonder if there was any other steps to take.

Thanks,

If you think any copper was absorbed then running seachem cuprisorb would help with removing it from water column if it was leaching.

Our aquariums naturally have some trace amounts of copper in them. Generally around 10 - 80 parts per billion. The miniscule amount that could potentially be leeched from plastic is completely negligible.
