    As far as epoxy goes, I know it works well for securing your rock, but I'm not sure if just any kind will do. Super glue, from what I know, any kind is fine, but I'd look for the gel as opposed to the liquid. Also, I don't think superglue would be very good for holding the rocks together, but its fine for coral frags.

    I would do a search and you should be able to find what others have used successfully. (wire ties, drill and pin, puttys, PVC are some different methods) this should help you decide on the best way for your situation
