There is such a product as Cuprazine (although its sold in the UK so im not sure if its the same product renamed for the USA).
Before adding this product though please be sure that it will be a fish only tank.. this means no corals, no cleanup crew and no shrimps/inverts/crabs etc. Any copper product will be deadly poisonous to these creatures. Also be aware that when adding this medication it will be absorbed by the sand rocks and silicone making it useless in the future for any form of invert in the tank (unless you strip the tank and start fresh).
If you have a reef tank then things get complicated, there are medications such a octozine and oodinex, these are reef safe. UV sterilisers and Ozone units are also very good to use along with garlic as a food suppliment.
