... and to add to this. i'd suggest to also first try to
figure out how to do the QM and the MM separately and find
out the proper parameters for each (i.e. do an isolated system
Quickstep/DFT MD of 3 QM waters, and a bulk 32-water all classical).
once both of them work and you have understood what the QM/MM
does, you should have a better chance to get it right.

just guessing what to do may get you a working simulation
eventually, but you'll never know whether it is a correct one.
