Opinions on glueing LR

I'm in the process of setting up a 72 bow front and have a question about attaching the LR together.

The way I have it set up now seems to be real sturdy with nothing to actually hold it together.

I was thinking about just using some aqua mend or glue to hold the LR for extra security. But should I drill it too and add acrylic rods?

Here's a pic of the way it sits now. I need to get a couple more pieces to bring the center up a little. There's a bunch of caves and crevasses for fish to swim and hide, but is also a straight shot through left to right so the power heads will keep water moving in there.

hey what's up. anything thing you think that has the a chance at all of moving or rolling into the glass or killing somthing drill it and rod it.don
 
I use Aquamend or jb water weld both can be bought at home depot. You can use acrylic rod too with the putty. Marco rock sells a reef safe mortar mix.
 
Thanks for the advice. I have some stuff made by marineland for glueing LR together that I'll use. If more is needed, then I'll go for some aquamend.

Hey what's goin on man. Yeah that's the reason I asked about drilling plus glueing the LR. I don't need 70 gallons of water on the floor. Or some fish flattened under a falling piece.
