PVC piping is fine. You can also use acrylic rods drilled into the rock work for support. Black cable ties to hold rocks together or to hold the rocks onto the pipe work is another option. Epoxy glue can also support the rocks.

Just make sure the silicone is aquarium safe, most have mold and mildew inhibitors.
