Hey, no harm, no foul when it comes to MIL taking care of the tank for a week. I always expect disaster in a situation like that and anything less than that is a win!!!
As for Aiptasia, in the long run it's just pretty easy to get so I think you are pretty much just going to have to deal with at one point or another. I don't think anyone really quarantines corals (although coral dips is a good idea). Really, I'm not sure if a coral quarantine would even help. I had my first visible signs of aiptasia 6 months after I had put anything in the tank. I have no idea which frag they even came in on.
That said, while many have had luck with Aiptasia-X, I definitely have not. The only thing that works for me is taking the rock out and cleaning it up and/or replacing it. It's possible I'm using Aiptasia-X wrong, but I've tried lots. I suppose there is no harm in giving it a shot and if it doesn't work then take the rock out.
