How to somewhat secure rock to glass bottom

[Patrick Cox]

I am starting to aquascape my new tank and I am finding that my rock does not feel that secure. My plan is to run bare bottom for a few weeks/months and then once I have flushed most of the shedding rock debris from my system, then I will add sand. I am using pukani rock that I have cut to add a flat bottom but not all of the pieces are perfectly balanced and the flat surface also tends to slide a bit on the glass bottom. So, I was wondering what might be a good solution to make my rock more secure. I don't want something that would ultimately damage or be permanently bonded to the glass, but just something to make the rocks more secure. Like silicone? Not sure if that is OK or not. I have already filled my tank as well.

Thanks for any suggestions.

There is a few things you can do, some people aquascape by binding the rocks together with 2 stage epoxy putty (reef safe)or acrylic rods to create a structure.

Use a hacksaw and flatten the bottom of the rocks. Works like a charm.

I use eggcrate to stabilize the base in my tanks.
