Instead of those two, you can use JB water weld or Loctite epoxy. It is same stuff but cheaper than ones made for "aquarium"

Default Pin and Epoxy

I found that if you glue too big of a structure together, it may cause issues if you need to get livestock out etc by HAVING to remove the rock.

This is why my preference is to epoxy , but also pin pieces together so it can be dismantled easier if needed.

yeah this is one of my worries, not just because i wouldnt be able to get rocks out, but I wont be able to get rocks in once I am done with scape as well. I have acrylic tank that has full brace on the top, and just 2 bigger openings. So I have to make sure that whatever I make can actually fit inside the tank through one of those 2 holes lol
