Pool looks green even after 5 days at slam level

Hoping maybe someone can give me some inside on this pool. I have been using the bbb method in all my pools over the last 10 years or so maybe longer. But I just can’t get this pool to clean up. I started with a swamp because I didn’t cover it like i should have. I have plastic steps that a prone to algae problems. I thought maybe that was causing my problems so I removed them. I ran out of powder to check my fc so now I’m blind the local pool store does not sell the Taylor refills. It is clear I can see the bottom but I have a green tint to my water. Wondered if it looks like metal to you guys? I hoping the local store can test for metal tomorrow when they open.

So I ended up going to the pool store to have my water tested. For the total hardness, tc,fc,ph,ta, and the cya it was just a test strip so I’m not sure how much I trust that. But for the metals it went inside some machine and she told me I have .5 ppm of copper and .1 iron. The pool looks better today so I’m wondering if I should add the sequestering agent or just let the copper ride and make sure I don’t add anything else the contains copper.
