place to how you like. method i use is cable ties. tie two rocks by using holes in the rock i know a few people use cable ties and an egg crate. glue would be difficult as youll want to keep all the good bacteria damp untill you get home then place in the tank. just my two pennies on this

I forget where i saw this but- several pieces were threaded together by fishing line, to form a circle, which then was placed over a standing piece of plastic pipe.(bout 1" diameter) Then several more pieces, making a slightly smaller circle, placed on top of the first, and so on as high as you want it. The pipe had a platform at the base, looked very simple to do. Hope you can picture what im trying to describe! With this i think it would be kind of sweet looking if it were upside down!(smaller circles on the bottom) however you want it!

If you do dry stack, build a solid base by placing three smaller rocks in a triangular pattern, and than building up from there. Much more stable than trying to place larger rocks on bottom and stabilize a bunch of smaller rocks on top of them.

We just stucks ours in and however it came out was what we kept. It just seemed natural and we kind of liked it that way. Everyone just basically does it by what they like. I know we need to get a bit more as my tank is kind of bare for a 28, but I like less rock then needed so I can see more!

Trial and error here. You start with smaller pieces to bury into the sand so that you reach the bottom or if you stack on the glass before you add sand, then you just have to kind of stack and test. I don't think there is one right way of doing this as every piece of rock is unique and can be stacked in multiple ways.

drill some holes in it. you can use plastic chopsticks from the supermarket for pegs to hold them together.
also, there is stuff called thorite that i have seen used before as well.
