The extra buckets are always useful around here albeit they are expensive initially (gotta have that screw-off lid)

Let me put it to you this way - Why are you willing to put the fish and corals in your tank at risk to save yourself $5 on a plastic bucket?
A typical SW fish costs about $20 and up. A typical coral is at least double that. It would only take a single loss to pay for several plastic buckets.
In other words, the potential savings don't justify the risk.
