I know what I did! now need to fix it!

Had a hugh outbreak of Ick and lost my fish. I know what I did wrong. Now are my anemone and snails and shrimp etc at risk also?
And I dont mean from me. I promise not to repeat my mistake.
Now how long do I leave my tank without fish before i try adding again? From what I have read looks like a month or 6 weeks depending on who comments. Will give me time to set up hospital tank..... and do more reading.. on how not to kill your fish.
any other recomendations on the tank? should I change rock? Or crushed coral? Anything else?

If you didn't treat the tank with copper, then just don't have any fish in it for at least 30 days. The rock and inverts should be fine.
