It depends on how "stable" your rock pile is and what livestock you plan on putting in your tank, IMO.

In my opinion, I don't agree in introducing unnatural chemicals to your tank.

Some ppl glue their rock others put the rock in first against the bottom and then put in sand so nothing can burrow under and cause them to collaps. It will not hurt the rock, you will need to get the "marine grade putty" or just ensure they are stacked in a manner that they cannot fall.

IMHO as much batter way is to pin the rocks with plastic rods. Its easy to do, but takes a bit more time, but its pretty well bullet proof against a rock slide once its done. All it takes is a drill and a regular old HSS bit, no masonary bit is required, and a plastic rod to fit hole. Once all drilled and pinned it stays put.
