Best way to connect/glue rock for scape

[BummersReef]

getting ready to set up 120 acrylic... Using 80 lbs dry reef saver rock and rest live. Any thought on what to use to stick pieces together, create caves and bridges and make stable?

If you haven't already, you might want to look into using plastic rods. You basically just drill holes in the rocks and then use the rods to kind of stabilize the rock structure. A little epoxy in the joints wouldn't hurt either. GL.

look at the marco rock cement kit and the rods. I used PC7 epoxy, I only had a little to do. both should to cure out of the tank or no livestock.

Just regular plastic from a hardware store? Won't degrade and harm system?
Thank you!

Look into the Nyos reef cement, it's awesome stuff!

You can use fiberglass driveway markers from HD/Lowes as well. A 4' piece is only a few dollars.
