ok so it looks like you have no chlorine in the pool which is to be expected with all of the green, eating stuff in it.
Interesting that your strips say that much stabilizer (CYA). I would trust your test using the kit you just got.
Now test your PH. I like to hold my tester up in front of a white plate in a brightly area. I use my over stove light for this.
IF your PH is 7.2 you can start your SLAM! IF it is higher you will need to bring it down. If it is lower you will need to bring it up. Pool Math will be able to help with this.
How much chlorine/bleach do you have on hand?
You are SO close to a clear pool with your test kit!
