Pre 1983 (if in US) after that it's copper plated zinc
or just plain old copper wire or pipe in the tank. Or a loach (like the yo-yo and it's kin).
If you just wanna move everything I'd move the fish in to the 80 gallon. Then get a bucket and put in all the decoration, rock and gravel of mixture of bleach and water. Boiled water will do the trick as well here (but may ruin decorations?).
I recon you have live plants and this was the initial introduction to your tank (and moving them may also introduce snails in the 80 gallon). And Copper in a planted tank is also not so good of an idea (or copper based solutions).
I'd get some fish that eats snails that is not going to eat your pre-existing fish.
So, what do you want to do? Move all the fish that may get eaten to the 80 gallon then place snail eating (anything eating fish) and let them go? Or move the fish bleach the whole lot (or place boiling water over the deco?)? Keep it as is and place a loach?
