A little more info please.
-How long did you shock?
-How high was the Cl level you shocked to? You have a high CYA so your Cl would need to be higher. See 'Ben's Best Guess' chart for more info.
-Get your Cl level back up to around 10 (due to your high CYA) and get a combined chlorine and post it.
-Clearing typically means just running the filter 24/7 for a couple days (if clearing dead algae is your only problem).

Usually takes longer than two days to clear algae. With CYA at 100ppm and FC at 1ppm, you're going to have algae again. You need to run your chlorine quite a bit higher than that.

See the "Best Guess Chart" sticky at the top of the chlorine forum for more info about needed chlorine levels for high cya levels.
