Just got my 50 lbs of dry rock. What's the best way to attach these together. I have researched this alot online and found so many different ways to do this. I'm just wondering what the best way is. And what's the most safe material and glues to use for the tank and the fish. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have seen you can use gorilla glue gel. Is it safe? Or is it best to use something else.

+1 e-marco mortar.

I’ve created a couple (30 lb) large rocks from several small ones, haven’t had any failures. That stuff is incredibly strong and 1 bucket will go a long way.

I prefer to use acrylic or fiberglass rods to help give them some stability rather that cementing them into a big chunk. If you need to re-scape or catch a fish, you will be very happy that things can be easily removed.
