Leave the Live Rock in the tank. The copper will have been absorbed by the Live Rock, and will slowly leach back into the water with time.

You may have to replace the rock, or run it in a bucket with Poly Filter or Cupridorb to get it safe again. Copper is found in NSW, but at very low levels. Sorry about your mishap. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Once you treat with copper the rock is a goner! Also the copper actually makes the aquarium itself unsuitable for corals and inverts. You will have to replace that as well if you want a reef in there. Bummer man!
