What method is best to Aquascape and stack rock?

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I like the stack and lock in method...but if you can commit ,which is probably better, use some mortar and make it permanent...

I used a picture and used that as a babe then dry stacked it . No epoxy was used all solid and firm

I've always had great luck just making sure the base pieces are on the bottom of the tank and then the sand goes in afterwards around the rock to support it. No need to permanently anchor anything as long as the base pieces are sturdy and nothing up above is teetering/loose. With the base pieces directly on the tank bottom it prevents animals from burrowing through the sand and making rock unstable. Before permanently adhering rock together make sure to consider that as you add animals to the tank and corals grow & spread you may find the need to move things around from time to time.

I've gone to a 2 island aquascape on my latest setup. The first photo is the current setup, and the 2nd is the same tank but taken a few years back. That was a traditional back to front style stacking. Nothing permanent, only careful stacking that insures all is stable.

Thank you guys.

I forgot to mention that I use drinking water safe epoxy and use a small piece of rubble rock press it into the epoxy to make the texture look like the rock work.
