I do not measure these. Maybe pH. Around 8. The reef salt provides the necessary minerals. No need to measure GH or KH. Just add some coral as a buffer.

When you write it so that the same coral coral stone used in saltwater aquariums?

Is there anything else I can use to increase the calcium content?

What about the light of akvariethar the influence?

The Ph = "8.2"
Nitrit ="0"

I do not know what 'the light of akvariethar' is. You may use limestone and egg shells.

You are not adding calcium you are making it available.

Light is not very important. 12 hours a day. Kelvin is the color. Low kelvin 2500 some yellow, higher kelvin 10000 some blues. I use 6500k fluorescent. Use what is available and inexpensive. Mix a warm with a cool. High wattage bulbs may cause an increase in algae growth.
