I personally don't use any rods and glue.

I look at it as your most expensive lego setup. You try to interlock things and make it solid. In some cases where there is a little wobbliness, then I use a bit of epoxy glue. That is it.

I guess it depends what you want to do, I have seen some outragous aquascapes. The only way they would work is if rods, glue, ties, etc were used.

And have fun with it!!!

Drilling the rock isn't difficult, but it is very messy. Wear goggles, old clothes and do it outside if possible. Use a masonry bit and go slow. Too fast and the goo flies everywhere. Drilling too big a hole at once may break your rock apart, so if you need a large hole, step up in drill bit sizes. Have fun!

That is funny, especially when the answer is always NO!
