Curing and Aquascaping

[EHaddad]

So I just got my rock in 80 lbsreef saver and 25 lbs tonga. I was wondering should I cure it then glue and cement the pieces together when it's wet to build the aquascape or should I glue and cement the pieces together before I cure it when it is still dry.

Cure and then glue it .

Soooooooo much easier when dry. I'm setting up a new tank now, cured and cycled some dry rock with some live rock in a 32 gallon trash can. Now I have good cycled rock, but having a heck of a time getting the scape the way I want it.

How is this for a suggestion?

Plan and do a mock up of the scape. Glue the scape in small portion of the total scape. Then cure the rock. When the rock is cured glue the portions with a product called stonefix, the product works underwater. ( I have used it like this) glue the scape together in the tank.
