Hello,

>From a quick glance at the tutorial, it appears as though that was just
there as a demonstration there to show you where ions are added to the
system. If you look carefully at the simulations that are being run in that
tutorial, the vacuum (and GB) simulations do *not* use the counter ion
simulation.

You should not add counter ions if you want to simulate in GB -- simply add
a saltcon to account for electrostatic screening by a set ionic strength.
Read the tutorial carefully as it describes in detail what simulations are
being run and what we learn from them.

Hope this helps,
Jason
