A drill, some acrylic tubing, some putty and maybe a few zap straps

I'm in the middle of an aquascape and I am using zip ties and putty epoxy. Seems to work well so far. My only complaint is you have to have your scape decided prior to the putty. It starts to harden and detaches if you move your rocks around too much. I just decided to work in layers and epoxy them one at a time.

I called all over Edmonton looking for them at LFS. Noone had any in stock. I was directed to Rona and HD and a no go there. I just chiseled them to fit and epoxy away lol and I didn't want to buy a masonry bit either, my general purpose bit worked just fine for zip tie size holes through thin parts of the rock.
