You may very well need something more powerful than the leaf eater. I know that because it is lightweight, the leaf eater is easier for my DH to maneuver (sp?). We too have trees in our yard and with the skimmer, that pretty well takes care of most of the leaves.

100 fish is alot. I do know that goldfish breed like it will be their last day on earth and they are trying to keep the species going. We used to have goldfish and although they were fun, we did go to koi. The koi don't breed as often, but I have found that they breed far more than I care for myself. We are always trying to find home for the fry.

Funny you mention starting out with the Wally World pond. That is how we started out 11 years ago. We then went to an 1100 gallon pond and now we are at about 5000 gallons. I don't room for a bigger pond, so this one will be the last one for this house.
