Question Rock Piles?

Hey guys, it's been a while since I have been around. Well I wanted to take some rocks and glue them together to make nice, firm rock structure/caves. I am wanting to know of what kind of material to use to glue the rocks together. Super glue, silicone, or what? Thanks all, Jay.

Re: Rock Piles?

I wouldn't trust glue to hold the rocks together completely. If they just need a bit of extra support you might be ok with super glue gel but if you really need to attach them, I would drill holes and either connect them with acrylic dowels or zip ties.

A reef tank is like a racecar. The faster you go the harder you crash.

This gets my vote. Harder to knock over when you're moving corals around or cleaning the tank.
