I'm drawing up a plan for LR. Shaping and placement.
What do y'all use to connect the pieces? How?

Most LFS's and online vendors sell a 2 part reef safe epoxy for about $12 bucks. Or you can go to Home Depot and look for Harvey's 2 part for $5 bucks, same exact stuff! The trick is to mix it kneed it until it gets warm then you have to put it in place before it turns hard.

What rob said

Also acrylic rods, small pieces of PVC combined with zip ties work wonders.

I've also used the bottom portion of plastic hangers. Cut out the straight section, drill a appropriately sized hole with a masonry bit, place the hanger section in the hole, cut to desired length and add the next rock.
