Question- I am going to be adding alot of rock to my 55 long tonight and I wanted to know the best way to make sure that they dont fall and crush a fish or something else. I dont want to use rods.... so what does everyone suggest and can the rock be taken out of the water in order to secure it all together?

Thanks in advance

You can take out rock in order to secure it together but you might get a mini cycle from moving them.
You can use zip ties to get the rock together or epoxy. I have used JB Water Weld in the past too. Just make sure you turn off your skimmer until it hardens a little.

They make an underwater epoxy fo adhere the rocks together. And will cure overnite underwater.
