If you plan on having burrowers, definately move the sand to one side and put the rock on the bare bottom of the tank. Then move the sand back around the rock.
This way, if something burrows under a rock, it wont fall over and crack the tank or crush any creatures.
You can also bond the rock with strips of double-sided sticky padding sold at the lfs, but this makes cleaning the tank a real pain. Just do the above and make sure the higher rocks don't wobble at all.

One suggestion I read and used was to stack 3 rocks in a triangle shape, then put a 4th rock on top in the middle. That seems to make mine pretty stable.
Have fun . . . I spent about 2 1/2 hours stacking mine!
