ok so i have acclimation issues and i thought about a tank bridge designed to share water between the two tanks so that their levels are the same yet nothing included copepods can get though or chemicals.
so it would be something like a PVC pipe and i ould have in he middle a thin layer of resin wrapped around carbon filtering to keep any chemicals from going between the two tanks after that you should fill the pipe with this lab-grade mesh that is 0.5mm and that should keep parasites out since copepods are around 1 to 2 millimeters ( Laboratory Sifting Mesh, 0.5-mm | Carolina.com )
I'm just brainstorming would this be possible
and, of course, this would all be sealable since if you do does one of the tanks like a quarantine you can just seal the bridge

I doubt anyone would go through the trouble and associated risk. When you have a mixing station, it becomes less of a chore to just do more frequent water changes.

I see fish bridges all the time on my travels why not and think they are cool to look at. If that is what you want to do and think it will work.... go for it.

well ya i know and im mixing my own water but im just thinking here i would rather money wise practice stuff on 5 dollar fish
also the main reason I would do this on my tank is that it would require me messing with the glass and im not confidant in that im just brain storing about a different potential system i might make
