Loctite super glue gel or if you want something a bit pricer try Ecotech's coral glue.

For bigger projects I have had success with AquaStik Epoxy Putty. (Although it makes your skimmer go crazy for a while.)

This is what I prefer. It's works well in my opinion however I wouldn't use it on wet rocks, but for any dry aquascaping or for fragging corals I really like it.

I used hydraulic cement with mine. Sakrete I think was the brand. It worked well and other members of my local club tested for leaching phosphates and other chemicals and didn't find any.

Best superglue for frags and small rocks, IC-Gel
Epoxy for dry cementing, embedded rods for wed large rock securing

I'm with @Herefishyfishy on this! I find that the Bob Smith Industries BSI Cyanoacrylate IC-Gel is the best stuff for glueing your Frags or the BRS
Paleo-Bond JURASSIC GEL 4540 REEF ADHESIVE is good stuff!

I would watch doing this as they rocks become hard to get out of the tank. An sometimes you might want to remove a rock piece that has something undesirable growing on it. Things like this sound good but in practice become pains in the butt. :)
