I use 1/4" acrylic rods to secure the rocks together.

so you just drill the rock and put the rods through? do you glue the rod to the rock? add silicon?

That is correct the rocks were drilled, I was planning to use epoxy as an extra security but I found that with the acrylic rods only the structure was secure enough so I opted not to use any. Allot of people that do use acrylic rods also use epoxy to support the structure.
