    Dead spots depends on what you do with the rocks and how many powerheads you have & how you set them up. I have 2 powerheads and the return and have one dead spot somewhere no matter how I arrange them. Well, actually I just changed their flow direction yesterday and I think I've eliminated any dead spots, hopefully.

    Yeah you can glue your rocks with superglue. If you want to glue them.. use a super glue gel. For some reason im against gluing them though

    plumbers epoxy or the coral epoxy works well for sticking rocks together. its like a putty and will harden underwater as well.
