Safety of Copper Pipes?

Not sure about its safety for fish. But your criteria "I figure it safe for
us to drink, it should be safe in the tank or pond for that matter." is not
sound. Chlorinated water is safe for us to drink but deadly to fish :-(

That's true, but I can treat for that, and the treatments are readily
available. I have never seen DeCopper anywhere. LOL.
