Congrats. I'd do multiple water changes to dilute the copper over time. Copper, as previously mentioned in another thread, is not really fish safe. Fish can tolerate it much better then inverts, but it does lead to poisoning (build up) over time. This is why I dislike using copper medication unless it's in a hospital tank.

Personally, hyposalinity is my ich ticket. But of course, the best approach is to make sure the fish's natural immune system is robust enough to ward of diseases. Unstressed fish rarely get ich, and when they do, they heal on their own.
