What works best !?

What's up guys I have a 55 gallon tank and I've added about 40 pounds of live rock already and counting. I feel it's time to start sticking them together. As of right now they're just piled up on top of each other no epoxy no nothing. I bought this at pet smart and didn't work for me what's the best pay to get them to stick together ???

I like locktite super glue gel.

Nylon rods or small diameter pvc piping. Fill in joints with the Hold Fast epoxy for added strength. I used 3/8" nylon rods on mine and it doesn't budge.

The holdfast doesn't do well once the rock is wet but it can still work it just takes a while holding the stuff together

I used the same instant ocean putty to build this structure and its quite sturdy.

Just don't glue too many together, I've seen people glue the entire rock structure together and then realize it's either too big to get out, or they have to lift 2-300 lbs to get the rocks out... hehe
