I would hold onto the tank and equipment, if you can have it set up at his parents then do it. I hope this doesn't sound offensive as it's not meant to be but here goes...it sounds like you are moving in together out of necesscity. Not sure how long you and your boyfriend have been together, but i wouldn't give up a thing at this point and see how things go, would say a year...maybe by then you can build/buy a place together to include plans for your bigger tanks! Good luck!

I guess of terms of equipment as well you'll have to consider if a tank that size will fit in your future plans. A tank that size can be hard to fit in some places, it may not work with your future house so you should way the odds and the cost of storage.

I would sell the live stock for the time being IMO. keep the equipment if you have a place for it, and then, if you still want a tank why not just do a little nano tank or something for the time being to tie you over? nothing wrong with that

I temporarily set up a tank at my parents place 10 years ago, mom fell in love with the fish, didn't want to let them go, they grew, cost me a bundle to upgrade and the tank and fish are still there. Personally I would sell off most of my stuff and start new when the timing was right, what you have now may not work later so why store it, tanks especially don't take kindly to repeated moves and unless you crate it up I find they are far more susceptible to accidental damage.

I don't think driving back and forth for years is a workable solution. A tank is something you keep for your enjoyment and this sounds like a very inconvenient and expensive "solution" to your dilemma. I would set up a small nano to keep your favourite corals and small fish, but sell off the rest, including the equipment if you have no place to store them. Sounds like you wouldn't have room at your place to store the tank even if its empty. Get a nice AIO (like a RSM) and actually enjoy your hobby instead of dreading the drive back and forth and doing maintenance at someone else's house.
For myself, I don't get how you have a whole new house and not enough room for even a 33g tank. Is that because he has too much stuff and is unwilling to give up any of it so you can set up a tank? We have a small two bedroom groundfloor suite and I have had close to 1000g of tanks setup in here. Just something to make me go "hmmmmmm".

I agree with Sea Horse Fanatic, set up a Smaller nano tank for your enjoyment at your home and sell off all of it. Start up new once you get into a bigger place, chances are equipment in the hobby will be improved upon when you start again.
There's my 2 cents worth, good luck.
