What epoxy for aquascape?

I have aboout 150 lbs of live rock to play with for my 90 and i would like to cement it altogether to create shelves and an arch and also to have the confidence that my rocks are not going to roll off or tip. So what cement/epoxy is best?...i found some on ebay that is purple like coralline. I will post the link when i get to acomputer. Also show some pics of your cemented scapes!!

I use Aquamend. You can find it at Home Depot.

I've never had much luck using strictly epoxy putty and live rock, but I've seen it done before. Most people (that I've seen anyway) use acrylic rods, zip ties, or a combination of the above 3.

when I use epoxy to attach corals, I take some super glue gel, put that on the frag, then epoxy, then super glue gel on the side that will attach to the rock or glass. That works well.
