For me it has always been situational. I love getting cheap new tanks. I have managed to get most for a buck a gallon or less on sale.

I also have found 6 used ones. But these were all bought from people I knew well enough to know the tanks were in great condition and safe to buy.
 
How about the DIYers? Some people just make their own.
 
i get my tanks free from an office building. did i mention i make tanks out of 5 gallon water jugs?

otherwise only 2 out of 7 have never been used for fish, or drinking water

Got any pics of the tanks you made?
