Filtration for koi fry?

Hi, just wondering what you recommend for filtration for koi fry. Ok, so my koi bred FOR SURE, and I have about 100 fingernail sized fry. I have 50 in a 12 foot round 3 foot deep kiddie pool with water hyacenths for the top, and a bubbler, and change the water weekly, and for now have the other 50 in a 40 gal. tank inside my house and have a filter with a sponge over the intake, and a bubbler, and no heater. I used pond water for the water in the tank so I didn't have to cycle. I just let the water naturally come up to the temp in the room. I really want to keep the babies inside the house or garage, so I can feed them through the winter so they can get fat and happy. The water temp is 72 inside 60 outside right now. The 12 foot kiddie pool is really being filtered by about 50 or more water hyacenths but they will die in about 3 weeks, so I will have to move the babies inside in filtered clean huge 30 gallon plastic tubs or somethin. What do you recommend, and how many water changes can I do in a week to keep the water perfect? Thanks in advance, pongirl. The 50 babies are fine in the 40 gallon tank for about 4 days now, and I feed them crushed koi pellets, and cooked crushed egg yolk for a treat. Just so ya know. Thanks in advance, pongirl.
