I am starting a fish/frog aquarium and I have 4 big fish and 2 babies. I also have a 4 (just an estimate) foot long aquarium with no lid and fish food and a filter. What else do I need beside frog food, a lid, plants, rocks, and water? What things and where can I guess them, I need this info within 2 days!

What type of frog? If it's an African dwarf frog, make sure the big fish aren't big enough to bother it. They only get to be the size of a quarter. They also tend not to do well in deep tanks, so I wouldn't get one of these if the tank is more than 14 inches deep or so.
If it's and African Clawed frog, be sure the fish are large enough the frog won't eat them. They start off small, but these frogs grow to the size of softballs and will eat any fish they can fit in their mouths (and don't underestimate the mouth size!). If it's any other type of frog, it should have a land area where it can get out of the water - if you don't want to build up one end of the tank to make land, get a turtle dock or other floating platform so it can get out easily: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/13048/product.web , http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/434/product.web . Only the two species I mentioned above are totally aquatic. Larger land frogs may also try to eat fish.
Depending on the type of frog, it may need a heater (unless there's one in the present tank).
Also, be sure your "frog" isn't a fire-bellied toad - these have a toxin in their skin which could harm your fish if they're kept together.
ADDITION: Any wild frog would need to have some land area. As to whether or not it's okay to keep with the koi, it would still depend on the species. I have a bullfrog I raised from a tadpole, and he loves occassional feeder fish (and he's not full grown yet). On the other hand, a spring peeper (also a PA native) might be fish food. Some species of frogs (notibly your wood and pickerel frogs) don't require any water except for breeding. They roam some distance from water and stay moist by using damp soil and leaves. These types may not do well if kept in an aquarium.

Well once upon a time i was a bored 5th grader one summer evening and i was flipping through channels and I stopped and saw a wrestling ring with Triple H beating someone up with a steel chair and there was blood...and being the freak that i was i frikken loved it!!!! Anyways i didn't watch it on a regular basis but i caught onto some favorites like Chris Jericho and Triple H back in the day. I don't remember how or when i stopped watching after a while and lost track of it, and then some years later when Smackdown switched to Friday nights, One Friday night my friends were all busy and i had nothing to do, so i turned on the TV and to my suprise Friday Night Smackdown was on. At first i thought it was stupid and didn't see why anyone including myself watched it but then everytime I didnt hang out on Friday nights i watched and got into the storylines again as well as the action. Now i'm hooooked!
