The major thing would be to make sure you only use products that are safe for use in an aquarium.
I did a fast web search, and found these ideas:

As a side note - too much rock and pebbles may put a lot of strain on the back glass if you fix it permanently. I'd use the styrofoam insulating sheets shown (and make sure there aren't chemicals to make it fire-retardant), or ask your LFS to save you the styrofoam shipping boxes if they throw most of them away and attach the rock to this.

I even have numerous without history and a couple of with them. One feels like flowers and driftwood, and surely makes the tank look wonderful, and the different feels like piles of rocks, that's additionally relatively wonderful. right here is an concept for you: get cork board from Michale's or another arts and crafts save, take java fern and gently push staples in to maintain the flowers to the board. Use aquarium risk-free silicon to adhere to the back, and additionally you have a residing history.
