Only issue I can think of when using large amounts of epoxy would be the skimmer going nuts.
Again, I'm not positive on this, but that could be the only issue.
Another option, if you were open to slowly replacing the rock is this stuff:

I used it on my tank without issues.

If I had to do that I would separate some tank water in a bucket. Then let the epoxy harden while the live rock remains submerged if you think there are any coral or creatures in there that you want kept underwater.
Then again live rock remains "live" for hours without being in water, so it's really at your own discretion.

If you are going to redo the whole thing, I would recommend macrorock mortar. With this stuff you are able to build cool overhangs and structures regardless of how heavy the Rock is. I have been using it for the past couple of tanks and couldn't be more pleased with what I was able to build. Here is my current tank aquascape for ideas. Good luck!

Sorry for the cloudy water, I just fed the tank.

we really debated hot and heavy on how best to aquascape. But ended up with the regular putty (two part that you mix together like clay) that we got from LFS. It takes a long time to get hard but is moldable even when wet and we were able to make adjustments. But it was kind of messy to mix together and clung to fingers. and dries this strange reddish color that sticks out like a sore thumb in our tank. It will eventually get coraline on it but still ...
however, sticking down coral frags with super glue stuff was a nightmare. We just could not get the super glue stuff (sold in LFS) to work well at all ... ending up using too much and strings of glue floating in tank and all over our hands and counter top. ACK!! We are just new and don't have the smooth touch so it was messy. we ended up back with same putty for several coral frags but that didn't work very well either.
sooo ... lol ... very much hoping this new Tunze instant gum will work better. Seems like a good cross between the putty and the glue. Wish us luck!
