Hi Justin,
        
(1) None of the ligands have 31 atoms - FAD has 86 atoms and MHF has 54 atoms. 
The error msg. does not show any specific mismatching.
 
(2) I forgot to mention that I have increased the number of the atoms on the 
top (2nd line) of the gro file after adding the 2 ligands.

Regarding (2) and (3) - the output of the PRODRG server will likely give poor 
results.  See the paper linked from 
http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Related_Software/PRODRG#Tips.

A dodecahedral box is likely going to be more efficient, but this is not 
relevant to the problem at hand.

OK, so do any of your molecules consist of 31 atoms?  Do you get any notes 
about non-matching names?

Did you properly increment the number of atoms in the coordinate file after 
adding your ligands?
