Yeah, I think shipping is my only option... guess I wait until spring, shipping in the winter is probably waaaay too risky. In the meantime, I'll have to search for a source of liverock that might have some extra critters on it. My parents brought me back some dead coral from their trip to Jamaica years ago, and I put the chunks of rock into some salt water (I was young, it seemed like the thing to do
 and sooner than later there were a bunch of little creatures swimming around in the glass. I hope to have a similar (if less awed, I'm all growed up now) experience with reefkeeping.

You'd be surprised... I used to live in Fort Mcmurray, at first I was nervous about ordering fish in winter; but eventually you'll run across a deal/fish you can't resist, and you will... Chances are it'll go just fine.
Get to know your "nearby" reefers in the urban centers, make friends - you'd be surprised at how nice the reefing community is, and how willing some are to help you get livestock... Best advice - test and know the systems of your local delivery companies, know who's overnight/next day service truly is (Fine print on all say "to major urban centers") - never trust the website, call in and confirm. Find out your local air cargo carriers, some are cheap, some are stupid expensive... I used to send/recieve fish / plants very regularly from mcmurray, yes - there were some disasters... But there were way more successes.
