Alternatively, you can create a supporting frame out of PVC piping, and zip tie the rocks to the PVC.

I like this way as well. I think it is what FUDGE did with his beautiful tank. My only issue is that when I tried it, it felt LOOSE to me.

I ended up drilling PVC into some rock, Zip Tying others and Epoxying the rest. I am most happy with the epoxy rocks since they are much more solid and look and feel like one large rock.

If your going to use the epoxy, the putty stuff, just keep an eye on your skimmer for a few days after. After using about half a tube, my skimmer (bullet 2) just about had a melt down, even with the air valve closed the foam was overflowing like crazy. I had to really dial it back and at time turn it off. So just a heads up...
