This may seem like a dumb question but I was wondering how other people move fish from quarantine with hyposalinity and copper to their man display tank.

I haven't really ssen too many details on the proper way to do this. To me there are at least 3 main factors, make sure the salt level is the same, temperature is the same, and remove copper.

Currently my display tank is running fallow with all normal parameters. Quarantine tank is running at a higher temperature, 1.009 hyposalinity and .5 Cupramine.

Does it make sense to begin doing water changes and begin adding salt to bring salt level up to match display tank while also eemoving copper over a couple of days? Afterwards, if salt and temperature is the same as display tank can fish go directly into the display tank or is there a better method to moving them?

Yes, start raising salinity slowly over the next days. Copper + hypo is usually not recommended as it adds a lot of stress so I would proceed very slowly.
