That depends if you want an isolated system in vacuo, or a periodic

Don't know, but if you try grompp without pbc set, then the file that is
output by the -po flag (default grompp.mdp) will tell you what value was
used - i.e. the default value.

The emtol value is probably fine, but I suspect your cg regime is a
little vigorous for preparing for MD. If you were about to do a normal
mode analysis, then that would be different...
