Korean cyanoacrylate super glue. Looks like it's a very fluid form as opposed to gel. Looks like he is tossing some sand on to help fill voids and cover the glue.
Axia glue

Well it's a cyanoacrylate glue also. There are many brands but I couldn't tell you if one is better or stronger than another. The thin liquid ones tend to be faster setting but more difficult to use on porous material. I am guessing in the video he is using the sand as a binder to fill voids and give the glue lots of surface area to stick too. The Axia company appears to have a variety of formulations as well. From the video he is using their version 111 which he looks to be squirting liberally and it drips easily so looks to be quite liquid.

I am not sure I would trust any Cyanoacrylate glue to hold long term with the aquascape he is building there with all those overhangs. I would be more inclined to use some rods or the marco cement stuff as well.
