My best guess is that this is expected. Amber 7 tends to make a system
with relatively low initial density, that will increase as the equilibration
takes place.

Since you only gave the LEaP commands you used for the non-periodic
simulation, it's hard to know whether or not you did anything wrong (or less
than optimal) when you actually used LEaP to prepare the periodic simulation.
In particular, you might play around with the closeness parameter in the
solvateBox or solvateOct commands: try something like 0.75. (Of course, you
may have already done this....)
