Building pond fountain from rocks

I have a bunch of flat rocks that I have fashioned into a sort of
fountain that allows the pump/filter discharge to spill over the rocks
and into the pond. They are mostly flat rocks and for now the water
runs over them and back into the pond very well. I am afraid, however,
that an animal may disturb the rocks and alter the flow so that the
water does not return to the pond. I would like to secure and seal the
rocks so that they are less likely to be moved or disturbed. Is there
:a
mix, like cement, that can be safely used to seal these rocks? This
pond has goldfish in it so I can't do anything that would harm them.


Wonder if the Non-toxic silocon used for aquariums will secure the rocks
well enough

My experience with silicone and rocks is that it won't work. I've never yet
found a silicone (even stuff that is intended for aquariums) that doesn't
say "not for use below water level" or words to that effect. It works for
holding sheets of glass together because the actual join is dry.

Urethane foam ("Stuff") will probably do the job, if the rocks are stable in
the first place - but don't turn the water on until it's had plenty of time
to cure.

I may look into this suggestion (Stuff). That would probably work best
for what I have, if it is indeed safe to use. I suspect that it would
be. This and all other comments are greatly appreciated.
