I would start with one teaspoon and measure to see what the results are.

Kalkwasser is usually not a good method for raising calcium -- it's mainly used for MAINTAINING calcium at a given level. You'll need to use some other concentrated supplement to bump the calcium up to where you want it, then the kalkwasser will HELP keep it there, but you still may have to add something else occasionally.
FWIW, I drip nearly a 1 gallon of 2tsp. kalk per night in both my tanks, and it's not enough. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading, studying and disgesting this article and this article by Randy Holmes-Farley before proceeding. HTH, Mariner
