Red Sea test kit

Anyone else have problems with this kit? I did my tests today and got really freaked when the NO2, NO3, and ammonia were all way too high. Tested again about 20 minutes later and then down to normal. So I brought me a sample to the LFS and they did theirs and all was well. This isn't the first time I had this happen, but it is the first time that they were that way off. Maybe I messed up the first time, but hard to believe I did it on 3 diff tests. Any suggestions on a more reliable kit?

I recently tried some dip strips and really like them. they are made by a company called Aquamarine. Quick and easy. And they seem to be more accurate than Red Sea tests

Choco-
I have the red sea test kit and i have never noticed any problems myself. i have heard many people on this board express their dislike of the kit. I personally find their kit hard to read because they want you to look down throught the top of the test tube and hold it 20cm away and blah blah blah. i agree with what B said, Dip sticks are the way to go.
