My 6-year old is dying to swim and I've got green water even with high FC levels

I have 6 1/2 pounds of stabilizer, powdered or granular. I have 4 pounds of 1" tabs of the trichlor. I added about 1/2 pound of stabilizer using the sock method last night and put 8 tabs in to float around. This morning the tabs are still in there and don't appear to have dissolved at all. The stabilizer is pretty well dissolved. FC using the OTO test is high (dark red).

On another note, I started the bucket test for metals last night. 15 hours into it and no change of color of either the fill water or the pool water and nothing in the bottom of either bucket. The fill water is clear. The pool water never appeared as green in the white bucket, but definitely has a light brownish green tint that is still visible.

The Unicel filter did not pick up any thing to speak of again overnight. (only a few bugs and very little brown stuff at all)
