hi nigel
in one word, dont. the reason why is as follows,
the tiles will become coverd in alge and will not be seen.
the tiles will eventualy peel away from walls causing leaks and will be imposible to repair,so you will have to retile the whole thing,
also, the grout will crack if tiled to block work becase of expansion and contaction.
it is ok to tile a pool if done by a pro but a pond i would say is a big no no.
i recomend you build a pond with a fiberglass liner up to the water levil and then tile the top which is out of the water to give it the effect that it is a tiled pond,
i am not saying you cannot do it, but the maintenence on this type of pond could end up being expensive and futile.
have a look at some of the builds on this site to give you some ideas.
if you need more info or help or advice give me a shout.
i have built many ponds in my time.
