I have a bit of a quandary. I have all my rocks loosely stacked for the most part. Any ideas for securing already in-tank live rock would be appreciated. Here’s what it looks like

Well, thanks . But there’s a reason why my urchins are in timeout in the back AIO fuge area.?????? your tank looks amazing
Both. I want to secure the ones on the top right as they’re pretty loosey goosey and have been bonked over by my urchins that presently are in the rear AIO fuge section. And I’m trying to win a box of dry rock in a contest. So if anyone has an idea to get the topmost section secured without gluing it to the high heavens…Think all those healthy corals are really holding your rockwork back. . . getting rid of most of those is probably the first step!
But for real I am not understanding the issue? Do you have rocks that are moving/getting moved around, or are you looking to add new rocks?
Sounds pretty good. All I really need to do is secure some of the uppermost pieces that tend to be smaller so as to prevent tip overs. And this would cover that.If taking the rocks out and gluing them is not an options. . . doesn't look like it is. . . I think a coral epoxy is probably the best bet. . . you could make some, lift the rock slightly, put the epoxy in between where the rocks touch to make a sort of rock epoxy sandwich, then press them together and do you best to cram and smear the epoxy so it is attached to both rocks. . .
I actually thought of something similar but never di implement it. The idea was to glue to frag plugs together and the drill holes for each side in the rock. But longer rods probably would work better.You could try cutting small pieces of acrylic rods and glue into the holes in the rock to connect. It would offer more security without having to glue so much.
I never thought about frag plugs. I would definitely not rule that out if you have a larger hole in the rock.I actually thought of something similar but never di implement it.
