Some hints on practices that generally not a good idea to use:

  • Do not use separate thermostats for different components of your system. Some molecular dynamics thermostats only work well in the thermodynamic limit. If you use one thermostat for, say, a small molecule, another for protein, and another for water, you are likely introducing errors and artifacts that are hard to predict. In particular, do not couple ions in aqueous solvent differently from that
  • solvent.
Sorry that I do not actually understand here. The link I copied above shows that better not to "couple ions in aqueous solvent differently from that solvent". Maybe not separately but differently (mean different temperature)?
 
I am actually a novice in Gromacs.
It's a bit off-topic.

The paragraph quoted above implies that "not separately" so it is generally applies to cases where you want to make a temperature-coupling group of a small number of particles
