Tile Adhesive Compatible With Fish Ponds (non toxic to fish)

Emmeti manifold to new radiators. Discussion Thread

Hi I'm I've just joined and hope to gain some well needed knowledge! I'm replacing the old 1 pipe heating system in my house as its very old and full of leaks! We're putting down a solid wood floor so I don't want any joints under it that might fail!
I'm thinking of using the Emmeti manifold system for wall hung radiators but can't decide what pipe to use. I could use their own Gerpex pipe but its 16mm and I don't think it'll connect to "standard" rad valves or can I use 15mm pex pipe? Their tech guy that I spoke to said it had to be 15mm with a 1.7mm wall thickness, what 15mm pipe can I use?
Thanks!

I want to install some tile adjacent to outdoor fish ponds. This will be installed on wood, so I want to use S2 (high deformability) adhesive. Which type of adhesive would be least toxic to the fish (Type C - cement based, Type D - Dispersion, Type R - Resin). Also, which particular manufacturer/brand would be suitable for this application?

Epoxy resin to be used as both adhesive and grout it will then be impervious. Can tank it first with the rubber paint type stuff, tile it, grout it, a full water proof pond.

For your outdoor fish pond project, Type D (Dispersion) adhesive is the least toxic option for the fish. Consider using brands like Mapei or Sika, which offer high-quality, fish-safe adhesives suitable for such applications.

Don't use dispersion outside, surely?

I'd use white porcelain for the tile though then most fish you will see. Even some nice carp.
