How To Attach Live Rock

[karaim]

I am rearranging my live rock (250 pounds) and want to create some cool designs. Any ideas how I can attach the live rock together? I heard there are some kind of screws I can use - where can I buy those?


Thanks

Milliput is quite good for holding rock together, or you could use aquarium silicone.

Do you know where I can get aquarium silicone or milliput?

if your wanting towers then drill the rock through with a masonary bit or hole cutter and run acrylic rods through it. If not cables ties or miliput

You can also use PVC rod. Usually cheaper

Hi,

With mine i have used Aquascape Construction Putty. This stff is blommin strong, marine safe and has a pinky/red colour to mimic coraline Algae. This is good for aquascaping and fragging.

IMO this stuff is great and simple to use

Thanks everyone.

I found a great article (http/www.tcmas.org/article_aquascaping_part1.php) and will be following the author's instructions.

I bought the fiberglass rods - they are orange in color. Let me know if anyone thinks these would not be safe for aquarium use (although the author does recommend them).

Fiberglass rods are fine for aquarium use
