Hello all , Iwill be re-dooing my rock work and swaping out my tank soon . In the past I have just stacked my rock
Can anyone suggest what Adhesives or Epoxy to use to build up my rock ?
Are there any disavantages to using Adhesives & Epoxy on the rockwork ?

a lot of people will use the hand kneaded 2 part epoxy to glue the rocks together. just keep in mind not to glue all the rock together, you will have to remove it from the tank one day.

I like the epoxy better than superglue for that reason, if you need to take it apart, you actually can break it apart.

Buy the "aquamend" variety epoxy putty from Home Depot. It's quite cheap (<4$).
