Dude, you must be from England? Isn't there 2.2 lbs to a kg?
Well moving on, in an attempt to answer your questions...
Co2 is only beneficial when the lights are on.
I've heard that a 20lb tank lasts about 2 weeks.
I have a tank too, I'm not positive of the size, but I think mine is either
40 or 60 lbs, never refilled it yet though.
Peace
