Help me make my scape solid

[Dj City]

Hello

Im building a new 180 gallon bare bottom reef.

I designed a scape that I think I like but it's balanced.
If I breathe too hard it will fall apart.

How can I make the structures solid?

These are the places I need to connect in such a way that they are solid and secure.

Never used it, but E-Marco cement seems to get rave reviews.it is what I would try if I needed it.

I never used glues so cant really say, but I can say I like your layout. I have a 180 also that has been up 10 years. It has the inventive and stylish rock wall on the back.

Hey NY_Caveman...

I think I'm going to order some. It does have good reviews.
This structure is going into my 180 gal build.
Check it out if ya like.

Thanks! I missed that one! I think your aquascape came out very nice. I am not a huge fan of arches (just my personal taste, of course), but overall I really think it is interesting with lots of depth. BTW, it does seem to spell out "HO" if you look at it from the correct angle, LOL.

Thanks @NY_Caveman

I wanted something different. Something I can put corals on and have them spread out.
Something that's open so I can have massive flow. Something that has depth and a 3d"ish appeal.

It does kind of spell out "ho".
That was completely unintentional.
Lol

Looks like no too me. Now I can’t unsee it!

Did you get a chance to use that E Marco yet?

 

[NY_Caveman]

Not me. I have always used gravity.

I just used e Marco for my 150 and it's amazing. Attached a few 10+ lb chunks together and can pick them all up by the top of the scape. Have a bit of cement left over for another tank too. Little hard to work with wet but once you get it formed it locks the rocks together very well.

Ive always had good luck using two parts epoxies and superglue gel

 

[Dj City]

E-Marco is AMAZING!
Really easy to use and STRONG!!! I have cemented large rocks into a shelf (overhang) that really should have been almost impossible to do but the E-Marco held it together with ease.
I tried the Jurassic gel first but it did nothing. I'm sure it's great for frags and putting together smaller rocks but it was no good for the larger stuff.
I will take pics soon of my work.

E-Marco is where it’s at! That’s the only thing I’ll use also love the scape looks good [emoji106]
