Welcome to the world of twins.

However, a quick note of caution. Twin 10's are infamously bad for trying to trim out with people having allsorts of issues getting them in the right place.

Can't help with the weighting though as I don't know what the cylinders weight, but the pool is the best place to start. Personally I would go in with just the backplate, harness and what you normally wear to dive in a puddle (undersuits etc) and no weights. Then gradually clip weights on until you can hover with nearly empty tanks. Once you have the weighting sorted you can distribute it to get the trim right.

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
