for the base, it completely depends on the structure. if you're stacking rocks (which is tought for it to look good) use the acrylic sheet base with the PVC tube "pole"

for the fiberglass rod, either find a stable base rock, or use the rods to even out the base as a support.

there really is no "proper" way to do it. each rock and aqua scape is unique.

D&D epoxy is definitely the best I've used too, it sticks like crazy. Aquamend works too but takes more patience (for corals at least). Aquamend is about $3 and D&D is about $13. Eric, do you know someplace that sells it local? I've always mailordered it.

That said, I actually think aquamend will be fine for holding large rocks together - for the initial application the stickiness is more important for attaching corals than it is large rocks. Based on my experience, once both have set I think the hold is about the same (of course this is not scientific, just the fact I've never had corals fall with either, but found getting corals into place much easier with D&D).
