So after worrying I finally got to the store to buy a copper test kit after I had also used a brass fitting in my ato system and had been fully submersed for over 5 ish months. Pulled the fitting when this thread was first posted and there was definite signs of wear and fading of the original coloration and as a result of this I was scared.
Anywho I tested my RO ato system and it came up 0 as well my tank showed the same readings. Phew I think I may have dodged a bullet here. I'm off to the store now to buy a coral in celebration lol.

Glad to hear that you seem to be ok however keep a close eye on everything because most test kits that are available to us don't provide readings low enough to detect copper in small amounts and it does not take very much to be toxic for inverts and coral

Sorry to hear about the crash and cause! Thanks though for posting and making us all aware of the potential disaster!
I just did a search for ANY copper fittings anywhere near yhe R/O in use.
