Hello, grout has a drying time, so this must be observed, but also look for grout that can be used in kitchens , or in other words grout that is non toxic! Another thing to consider is now they are coming out with grouts that have an ANTI BACTERIAL AGENTS mixed in to them to prevent molds! so check carefuly. also after putting the tile in or after any type of cement work, the pond should be filled and let to sit for a week or more, and then drained and wait another week. Then you should put just a few goldfish in to make sure things are fine.

I was recommended to use this black grout like a tar jell (no specific name). There is another type which is milky color liquid (Malaysian contractors call it "susu") that to be mixed with the cement and a special powder but according to them its contained toxic, therefore I concluded with the black tar jell.
