Might leach into the silicone too.
Unless you want to go fish only, that tank is done.

Although the chemical (Malachite green) can leach into the rock and silicone, it won't be released back into the water like copper would. Carbon will remove what is left in the water.

+1 on the carbon, some Purigen or Chemi Pure in addition to the carbon wouldn't hurt either.
