I recently got a nice looking Peacock eel. I wanted to get a cave for him. I haven't found anything I like so I got a piece of Pvc and he really likes it. I want to somehow glue some river rocks to it. I have seen some aquarium Epoxy online but they want like 10 for shipping. I can't find it locally. So does anyone have any ideas what I can use to glue some rock to a pvc pipe and it has to be Aquarium safe of course.
Thank Everyone for your input

silicone will work, and you can find it at any hardware store - just make sure to get the stuff without "Bioseal" or other added chemicals to inhibit mold, etc
 
Thanks for the reply :) I had thought of silicone, But I didn't think it would be strong enough to hold it all together in the long run?
 
It will. It's the stuff that holds your tank together for ****'s sake how could it not hold a little ornament together? lol.

I thought the bracing on the top and bottom of an aquarium were mainly responsible for holding it together. I however will give it a try. I just thought that Silicone was more soft and pliable and would eventually fall apart. I will report back here with the results :)
