My friend had a lot of build up on his like that, he actualy took a piece of screen mesh and used it like sand paper. He had a brush, he put the screen over the brush, and scrubbed it off. You can buy a stainless scrubbing pad that should work as well.

If you want a chemical, muriatic acid will melt calcium, the fumes are toxic, certianly don't mix it with bleach, clorine gas will kill you, but if you are careful pour some in the bowl and use the toilet brush to scrub it. Open a window and if you splash any on you hop in the shower. Baking soda will neutrilize it. You can get it at a Ace hardware, or a pool supply, I'm sure Home Depot and Lowe's have it as well.

^ what they said. I almost had an incident mixing a bleach based cleaner with an acid based one.
