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.
