Default Tank space... For rent?

So here's the story:

Currently have a 90 gallon reef tank. I'm also building a house, where a 250-300 gallon tank is being built right in to the house as a wall between two rooms.

However, some things have come up (very good things) that will require us to sell our current condo months before our new house is ready, which was not in the original plan.

The only thing in my tank I really care about saving are my corals. I've spent a year and a half building up my collection of SPS and LPS frags and colonies, and I have some really nice pieces, and some frags that are on their way to becoming really nice pieces. Does anyone know of someone who might be willing to rent space in their tank for my corals if it comes to that? I'll happily pay a monthly fee to help offset any increase in additives they consume, and I'd be more than happy to leave the person who takes them with frags of anything that is large enough to frag when my new system is ready, which is projected to be August or September. I'd be selling or giving away everything else associated with the tank (except the rock, I plan on turning it in to dry base rock) that I can't use in the new system, so I'm really just concerned about saving the corals.

Right now I'm just trying to see if it's even an option, as we're meeting with the realtor tonight and she's already expressed concern over my hackjob of a newb aquarium taking up so much floor space when it comes time to show the property. If I know I will be able to preserve my corals in someone else's tank it will make the decision a heck of a lot easier.

Disclaimer: my tank has an aiptasia issue (another reason I wouldn't sell the rock), but none of my corals would have aiptasia on them. As far as I know I've got no other pests, and would be doing major dips on everything first.
