What sort of pipework?
If you are gluing pvc pipe, just go to a hardware store and get some pvc pipe glue. It's usually green and smells bad. It melts the plastic and when they are joined together they set solid.

Assuming you are using standard PVC or CPVC piping (like schedule 40 or schedule 80 for example) nearly any clear PVC cement or glue will do. Most are designed to be used in compliance with potable water standards and are food safe. Generally anything food safe is fish as well. As far as specific brands I’m not familiar with what is available over the pond.
