It's been mentioned before, but I'd love to see a sticky in the corals section about dipping, precautions and inspection of corals. When you're inspecting your corals what are you looking for and where? How strong of magnification is your scope to see these things? What dips are good for SPS, LPS, soft corals? There's a good learning opportunity here for a lot of us.
From personal experience, I've often blindly dipped my stuff in Coral R/x looked at the coral with my naked eye not really knowing what I should be looking for. I've somehow introduced flatworms in my system despite my efforts (which obviously haven't been educated enough).

If we can find someone (Mindy) to write an article on this, we'll certainly post her (Mindy) article as a sticky.
