Based on several recommendations. I have decided to buy the following tester kit from amazon. They are priced at $95 right now. I read somewhere I need more than just this kit since it comes only with very limited supply of something. What is that I need to order? Also please let me know if this is the right kit. Also is there any other better source to order this from besides Amazon?

Thanks for your quick reply. I don't see K-2006C on TFTestkits.net. I am looking at the following page:

TFTtestkits only sells their own kits. The TF100 (basic kit) or the TFPro (same kit with Stir device and better case).
The Taylor and TFTestKits kits both use the same Taylor reagents, the TF models just generally give you a bit more for your money, and a nicer case.
Definitely recommend a SmartStir/SpeedStir regardless of which test kit you go with. If you go with the Taylor kit, you can buy the "speedstir" on Amazon.

TF kits use Taylor reagents. They're a better value as they provide more of the reagents you use the most. One example is the FC drop test which uses the R-0871 reagent. The K-2006 kit provides a 3/4 oz bottle where the TF-100 provides a 2 oz. bottle.

mknauss is suggesting the TF-Pro from TFTestkits.net over the Taylor 2006 or 2006C
The kit you are considering is a good kit but doesn't supply enough reagents to get you through a year or more of testing. The Taylor 2006C is a larger version with adequate quantities.
The TF-Pro has adequate quantities AND the SmartStir, an electric mixing machine that most people think is the best thing since sliced bread. It truly makes testing almost fun

Thank you very much for everyone who replied. You guys are awesome! I am so happy to have found this community. I have been so stressed last 3 years and still have so much to understand and learn. I for the first time feel confident that I will get everything I need to know from this community. Thanks again.
I just now purchased the TFPro kit for $150 with free shipping.

I was just looking at this exact thing...I thought it would be okay since it had the FAS-DPD addition...is that wrong?
The K-2006 part is not the problem. Lacking the "C" at the end is the problem. The "C" is the commercial size and includes much more reagent. The smaller kit is a pretty bad deal.
