Thanks

You can drill holes in the rock and use acrylic rods to connect them or I have seen one guy use high powered magnets attached to the rock and place them up the glass with another magnet on the outside of the tank. HTH

acrylic rods or Marine Epoxy

I've also run zip ties through holes in rocks before to get them to stand up or stay together. One rock didn't have the hole I needed, so I drilled it. Done right, you can conceal the zip ties well.

I used accrylic rods to do this:

You can see one on the back right. I got covered in coraline and wasn't even noticable after a bit of time

Aquamend puddy sold at HD or Lowes and some superglue gel works for most applications but if you're going for something extreme like a large/heavy overhang or arch, I think I would use some acrylic rods to help me sleep at night.

BTW, nice job dsn112!!!
