I have a box (3x3x3nm) of Tip3p water molecules ~900 and the density when I create the box using genbox is 997.177g/l. I did energy minimization run and the potential energy did converge smoothly, so I did NPT equilibration run of 100ps and I got the density value of 975g/l. Why does the density decrease after the run? these are the parameters that I used :

Am I missing something?
Thanks
