Anone have any advice on the best way to adhere dry rock together prior to introduction into the tank? Thanks!!!
 
I've had good luck with epoxy puddy and super glue gel. Super glue gel does the initial hold and the epoxy locks it in.
 
I used the Marco rocks bonding mortar, it worked great with no drilling or acrylic rods or any of that. I tried to separate a couple of rock that were cemented together and the rock gave out before the cement did. Here is a pic of the rock structure I made.

Epoxy puddy sux by itself but have heard using it with super glue it works really well:( however I did do the rods and it worked great in certain applications.
 
I have seen reef safe epoxy. Does other readily available epoxy work also. Obviously strength wise it would but what about chemically?
