Has anyone used aquarium safe silicone to glue LR together? Can it be done?

Never tried it, but I would imagine it would be fine. It might have difficulty sticking... Is there a reason why you wouldn't use the normal adhesive putties that are available?

It is possible, yes. Only challenge is letting it dry. Obviously live rock cant be out of water long enough for silicone to dry.
