just a few newbie questions

I have a 46 gallon bowed tank I have high K H (what the heck is that) leavles the fish store said it could be caused by high calcium leavles. I have one plate coral which is a little larger than my palm and a rock about as long and wide as my hand covered in star polyps how much calcium should I add and at what intervals? I have been adding 1 tsp daily I was thinking of cutting down to 1/4 tsp. what do you think.
