Copper after hypo

My display got ich 2 months ago. i hadnt been strict enough of my QT and i paid the price.

I let my tank sit fallow for 8 weeks (8 weeks today)
I treated all the fish with hypo for 4 weeks, then have had them in a 150 Gallon rubbermaid stock tank since.
All my fish look fine. no trace of ich. ive got each in a specimin container and agonized over them. not a single spot, no signs of distress.

My question is, i never want to do this, ever again. ever. Should i copper my fish just to be sure? I dont want to do this 2 months fallow crap again. i think id exit the goddamn hobby.
 
If you properly performed hyposalinity for four weeks & have seen no sign of ich I would think that copper would just be redundant & stress the fish for no reason.
