Pondless waterfall - what kind of board

I'm planning a water feature with the water blade and a reservoir to recirculate the water.  Going to build a frame to hold the blade and reservoir, approx 6ft x 6ft in total (to cover a single fence panel.  The blade will sit central, sticking out of a tiled wall.  
What material do I need to use for the board, to tile onto?  And what adhesive?  IM hoping to use the split face tile type
many thanks in advance

    for 6ft x 6ft I'd suggest bricks or concrete fence panels. LOL.
    The only I can think of is cement board.
    Tile adhesive for heated floors - it has some flexibility.
