Two specialized formulations designed for different aquatic environments
Reef Grade
For reef aquariums and marine environments
Reef Grade is a structurally stable composite filament designed for saltwater reef environments. It prioritizes long-term mechanical integrity while supporting controlled surface-level biological interaction typical of reef chemistry.
Suitable for SPS and LPS reef systems, coral farms, and marine research, this material is engineered so the structure remains mechanically sound independently of coral growth, with gradual biological interaction acting as an enhancement rather than a requirement.
Best for:
- Reef aquariums (SPS & LPS)
- Coral propagation & farms
- Marine research and reef prototyping
Specs: 1.75 mm • 1 kg spool • Natural/Sand color
Shipping is not included in the pre-order price. Shipping costs will be calculated and charged separately prior to dispatch, based on destination and package weight.
Stable Grade
For freshwater and planted aquariums
Stable Grade is a stability-first composite filament developed for freshwater, planted, and mixed aquarium systems where long-term geometry and mechanical persistence are critical.
The formulation minimizes material transformation and biological interaction, making it suitable for environments where mineralization is limited or undesirable, and where the structure is expected to remain dimensionally stable over extended periods.
Best for:
- Freshwater aquariums
- Planted tanks
- Long-life aquarium structures
- Systems requiring minimal material change

What these filaments are
These are material systems, not generic PLA filaments. Teire Filaments are specifically designed for aquarium architecture, marine environments, and research prototyping applications.
Safe for fish, invertebrates, and corals. Use them to create custom aquarium structures, hides, caves, decorative elements, coral plugs, and reef substrates.
Reef Grade is optimized for saltwater environments with controlled biological interaction for reef tanks and coral farms. Stable Grade is formulated for freshwater systems where dimensional stability and minimal material transformation are priorities.

What you can print
Transparency & expectations
- Safe for use in aquariums with fish and invertebrates
- Pre-order is for early access / pilot batches
- Intended for R&D, aquarium, and controlled marine contexts
- Different water conditions can affect how the material performs over time.
For example, parts used in saltwater reef systems are designed for biological interaction, while parts used in freshwater or planted tanks are optimized for long-term stability.
- Designed as a foundational material for reef and aquarium structures.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Both Reef Grade and Stable Grade are designed to be non-toxic and safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and other aquarium inhabitants. They do not leach harmful substances into the water.
Both grades are compatible with most standard FDM/FFF 3D printers. Recommended nozzle temperature and bed settings will be provided with each batch.
Reef Grade is optimized for saltwater reef environments with controlled surface-level biological interaction. Stable Grade is designed for freshwater and planted tanks where long-term dimensional stability is critical with minimal material transformation.
Early access batches ship within 8-12 weeks of order confirmation. Exact timing depends on production cycles.
