Correct, you want it bright without direct sunlight on the tube. See the extended test kit instructions.
Test results are in with my TF 100, experts?

Looks like your CYA is a little on the high side, but probably manageable. Everything else looks good ... except for you FC obviously.
I would recommend starting the shock process, realizing that your shock FC level is 28ppm for a CYA of 70ppm.

Once you start the shock process you should be running the pump 24/7 (assuming your filter does not clog up overnight).
For 24k gallons, I see 5 gallons getting you up to around 28ppm. You then need to start testing every hour or so and adding more FC to keep it up at shock level.

I can't stay here overnight 
I think my pool is closer to 28-30k gallons. Also, I only have 8 gallons of CL now so it may not be enough for this process. I'll pick some up tomorrow.

I injected 5gallons of CL just now, should I throw the vac into the pool and let it run?
Keep going until you pass all three OCLT tests.
It sounds like have passed one of the three. Great job!

Out of curiosity? Was the green tint this morning a clear green after you added all the chlorine?
Have you added more chlorine to the pool to maintain shock level? Did it turn green again?
Clear green could be a sign of metal in the water.

The water has been always clear, after I added the 5 gallons it took on a green tint but was still clear. The tint went away as the day went on and I have added three gallons since the first five. Just tested prior to the last gallon and it had 15fc
This was possibly my head playing tricks on me as usual when I do something. Or not.
I havent had a chance to check this morning, Ill check after work and keep shocking until tomorrow.
