Well it finally happened... Came home to my girlfriend asking if I "changed the rocks around in my tank." Looked down to find that my homemade arch had fallen down nearly crushing all my zoas with my hammer hanging on for dear life by the small dollop of coral glue I applied months ago. I reattached them using some aquarium putty but not sure how well it's gonna hold. Anybody have a similar story and a solution to hold these rocks together while submerged. They are zipped together but they're loose enough that they can still fall, hopefully this putty works but not very optimistic.
 
i know you can use pvc rods run through the rocks and the putty or cement from Marco rocks works very well.
 
I made my whole aquascape with about 40lbs of mainly dry rock and some live rock and 4 sticks of Two Little Fishies AquaStick. I build my scape out of water, dry, but over time I bump into the scape and loosen it, and one day there was a pretty big rock fall. I didn’t lose anything completely except for half of a hammer, but I just got more of the AquaStik and molded it all underwater in my tank. Just be generous with it since you really wanna secure your rocks.
