Ok here is what i did. I bought a nutrifin co2 system and was impressed with after just using a Red Sea Turbo co2 system and what not. So i just decided to stick with the bubble counter method. But, now i had an extra co2 system just lying around. So instead of buying a replacement for Red Sea, I just bought another Bubble counter and decided to use the red sea canister as co2 canister like the nutrifin one. Still following me here? So comparing the amount of sugar and what not in the nutrifin system, i added some to my red sea canister which is slightly larger. So i probably added a little more sugar. From there i went ahead and added the yeast and activator to the canister just like the nutrifin and hooked it all up. Well it was a little slower getting started (expected this being the canister is a little bigger), but now it is almost doubling the co2 output of the nutrifin system. I dont think it is a problem yet, but did increasing the sugar amount cause this? are there any problems I might have from doing this?
 
I am no expert but i cant see why you should have any problems just test for co2 content in your water to see if there is to much co2 but i dont think there will be :D
 
Sounds fine to me, as kjb says just keep an eye on the CO2 levels
