Start with a simpler system when proving you understand how to set up
equivalent simulations.

I try to use the same settings in GROMACS as in LAMMPS. However, in LAMMPS

Then you'll know that ewald_rtol does exactly that, and that
http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/current/user-guide/mdp-options.html#mdp-value-coulombtype=P3M-AD
does
what you want.

No need to do that.
