Copper?

[reefin]

i bought a used 55 plexi tank with/ug fliter, powerheads, skimmer, heater, and crushed coral. after set-up i found out it was coppered. i want to set up a 125 reef in a month but my lfs is having a big live rock this weekend. i plan to drain my 55 completely take out all the substrate anf let all the equipment air dry. If i set up the 55 again without substrate will the live rock (100lbs) be okay with the equipment that has been in a coppered tank. and can i use that euipment in my 125 reef or is the equipment no good for reef?

are you buying a 100lbs of live rock or do you already have it? if only the equipmentwas in copper i think you'll be alright.

i am buying it this weekend because of a sale, but i won't be able to set my 125 up as a reef for another month, i want to make sure my equiptment won't leak copper into my reef tank.
