Recommended CYA level?

[SunnyBama]

Hi everyone! I'm opening my pool and need a suggestion about the CYA level. Here are my current test results:

FC 0
CC 0.5
TC 0.5
pH 7.5
TA 90
CH 125
CYA 0

I know I need to SLAM (the water is a murky brownish/greenish color), and I need to add CYA, but at what level should the CYA be? I'm not running the SWCG until I get the pool cleared up; I've also got my AquaBot cleaning up what I didn't fish out earlier.

30ppm is a good target for during the SLAM process. Then raise it to 70-80ppm afterward for the SWG.

OK, I'll add CYA for 30ppm and get started on the SLAM. *crossing fingers* Wish me luck!
