You should probably direct this question to Broomer, or Sammystingray, Jonthefb, or someone specific that you trust to answer this. There's alot more good people to ask, but you get the pic. Maybe try to put "Saltwater Pro's...question for you." in the subject. It's a doozie, that's for sure.

Get out as much as possible. Do a water change and cross your fingers...

you can also add media to your tank that removes heavy metals. i'd do that in addition to the other suggestions you have been given

I have Kent Regenerable Toxic Metal Sponge. Thought I needed it to remove copper in my tank, but turns out I didn't have any in my tank after all, so I can't attest to its effectiveness. Worth giving it a try though.

I agree do a water change and try to remove as much stuff as you can.
