No, that's not quite right. It only takes a very small amount to affect your corals.
You also may have an intermittent voltage leak, you don't know.
It's a cheap insurance policy. Your LFS will carry it.

The brass thing you mentioned, is it exposed to water? Brass is a copper alloy, so this would be bad...

I'd maybe investing in something to pull copper, just in case. Any issues with snails or hermits, etc?

I have two peppermint shrimp and an emerald crab that are fine, I saw a hermit a day or two ago. I am missing two mexican turbo snails (which might have set this all off), as for other misc snails I just realized that I haven't seen any in a long time...

Here are my pictures, looking pretty empty:
