How do you "glue" your pvc pipes to basking rock?

I know there are sealants out there for this and even hot glue. I was wondering, since I have a lot of sealants at my disposal because my aunt runs a roofing business, what type of sealant have you used if you use any. Do you think he will try to lick the sealant, if so I guess I'll have to find one that's not poisonous. I have Silicon Sealant Chem Calk 1200 but afraid to use that.....

I think most people use aquarium-safe-silicone.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Yes, thanks. I just wanted more information because I have tons of sealant lying around and didn't want to waste money on buying more. I just went ahead and got some from the local store anyway and used that.

Just wanted to make sure it got to you.

Aside from aquarium silicone or hot glue, I wouldn't even consider using anything else. With other sealants you have to worry about the fumes they put off.

Btw- Photos are the law around here. Even if its photos of decorations. So...
Post some some pictures!
