When I asked that question, the answer I got was the one below. That's what I'll be using on my next scape.

its a combination of drilling holes in the rock and zap strapping them together then filling the cracks / covering the zap straps with a product i sell that is similiar to concrete (product doesnt have a name quite yet)

the i also use the same stuff for mounting frags (it can be applied underwater if theres minimal flow)

Emarco400 is just about the only product you will need, if you want a long lasting, strong/secure bond, and are looking to do arches overhangs etc.
Ive used most of the epoxies and other products, emarco is the best. works best if you can build it out of water, to hold the shelves, overhangs, and arches while it sets.

Marco rocks has it for a decent price, the 15# is quite a lot, and probably more than you will need, unless doing a huge tank or extremely complex scape with lots of small pieces. However, if you want to buy in bulk(50#) thats an option too, just need to order from a builders supply.
