I strongly recommend that you read articles in the literature that are
similar to what you are trying to do, and see what they did. papers tell you
details like # waters in the methods sections. since you haven't told us
anything about your system, we don't know if it's reasonable (but 20,000
could easily be ok). I can't stress enough, though, how important it is to
read the literature as a source of examples- not just the manual. then you
will see whether your goals are practical and readily obtained, or extremely
difficult, or somewhere in between. otherwise you will have no idea what to
expect.
