My calcium is at 420ppm i have been adding C-Balance part 1&2 every day. When i get up to this amount do i just stop? Then start again when the levels drop?

420 is a little high. I wouldnt add any more until the levels drop. I rarely add calcium in my tank, the water changes replenish everything.

420 isnt really a high calcium level. Only dose when you get readings under 350 ppm. You shouldnt go above 480ppm, otherwise youll start to see calcium "snow" appear in the tank.
