Does anyone have any solution to gluing rock in place in the tank? I pulled out one section of my aquascape to clean off algae and it broke in two parts. Have it stacked back in its general shape and looking for ways to add a little more support to the structure.

In the general area highlighted below.

Super Glue/Epoxy/Super Glue sandwich!
 
I'd probably just use super glue gel
Yeah I thought of that well, but I’ve got a pretty decent gap where the pieces aren’t fitting together anymore as they once did. I’m thinking an epoxy sandwich reinforced by e-marco will probably do the trick.
 
I use epoxy on the rock and super glue that together.

if you want it to look more "natural" you can make some riprap and embed that in the epoxy.
 
glue and epoxy can barely hold frags in place, to hold rocks together I would suggest reef cement
