The maker behind the prints
About Riptide Forge
What started as a reef keeping obsession turned into something I couldn't keep to myself.
Hi, I'm Jason
From the reef tank to your doorstep
I've kept saltwater tanks for over a decade. Reef keeping is a hobby that demands creativity — the right frag rack, the perfect cave, that one bracket that doesn't exist anywhere. I started designing and printing my own solutions, and my tank started to look exactly how I imagined it.
A few Instagram posts later, the DMs started coming in. People wanted the same pieces. That's when Riptide Forge became a real thing.
Today I design and print everything in my shop, one order at a time. No inventory, no mass production — just thoughtful designs made when you need them, shipped straight to your door.
How it works
From idea to your hands
Design
Every piece starts in CAD. I design for real reef environments — accounting for saltwater resistance, safe materials, and the exact dimensions your tank needs.
Printed to order using quality reef-safe filaments. No batch production, no sitting on a shelf. Your piece is made fresh and inspected before it ships.
Ship
Carefully packaged and shipped within a few business days. Standard and expedited options available. Custom orders get a tracking update at every step.
What we make
Two collections, endless options
Reef & Aquarium
Frag racks, aquarium caves, overflow covers, ATO brackets, flow deflectors, and more. Designed specifically for saltwater environments.
Home & Custom
Desk organizers, phone stands, planters, name signs, wall art, and anything you can imagine. If you can describe it, I can design and print it.
