The media that comes with it is enough to use it . There is room for more if you want to add some . I own two G6 filters now , and will buy a third when I can afford to . I have only used what is supplied , with the exception of changing the chemical filtration media as needed . And I have heavily stocked African cichlids tanks . The fine mechanical filter will need frequent cleaning when you first start running the filter . That means like once a day . But once everything settles down , once a week or every other week is average in my tanks but as I said lots of fish and some very large . Good luck , Enjoy !

Hi Hansonzg, I use three of the 17.63 Oz. boxes of media when I change my filter. One box for each of the three levels. You could almost use four boxes and add a little more to each level. I buy a 40 oz. box of charcoal media for the charcoal basket and the 40 oz. box lasts me for about three or four changes. The rings work great, thats what I use.One thing I've learned is to buy a couple of extra paper cylinder filters. Those I change the most so its nice to just pull the dirty one out and replace it with a clean one off the shelf. When the flow gets low it typically means the paper filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. Having a couple of extra is a handy approach. This has been an awesome filter !

I think their is enough biological included, I squeezed all that came with it into bottem two trays and then filled to top tray with Matrix. This worked but I found that 'low flow' warning come on. After a month I reduced the amount in all trays and found the flow rate had been resolved. Great filter so far the only think that is not working is the flow rate chart. I just wish it gave real flow volumes rather than percentages.

Ceramic rings will work. I bought another bag of the ones it comes with if I remember correctly and stuffed it to the top.

I would suggest a Tokina 11-16mm instead. Plus you'll be able to use filters for it which is why I sold the Rokinon.

Mine is the #2 size and has been fine from day one. Sorry I am unable to offer any knowledge of the #6 version. I like using the #4 filters with my #2 size however.

It fit my go Pavillion g6 perfectly. I'm not sure what my model was but I believe it's a generic size for all g6 series

It is compatible with any Micro Four Thirds lens camera, from panasonic or olympus and some others. So, just make sure that the Panasonic Lumix G6 is a Micro Four Third camera.

You should add some ceramic rings in a tray and add some carbon in another tray. This should really help. There is a fiber sheet provided for each tray that works well, but I like rings and carbon to better clarify the water. You have the ability to set this filter up the way you prefer.

Fit perfect on my g61. I'd say yea more than likely. Worth a shot. And the life is awesome on mine. Try comparing pictures of the bottoms of both you can find online. If you don't see any noticeable differences, I'd say you're probably okay to buy it. God bless you!

Not sure as all the media I needed was included on the one I purchased. That may be a question to direct to the seller to find out what media is missing, the one I bought was not missing any media and was ready to put together fairly easily. I have bought media since this time frame such as the bio media but that was much later. If you are buying media just make sure it is for this filter as the fit is perfect if you do that, if not you may have to manually adjust and that could be a headache.

I also purchased an full set of Cokin filters that came with several size adapter rings. A 58mm adapter was included, so I would have to say, yes.

Berkey offers plugs which seal new models (with extra, pre-drilled holes), so perhaps call a Berkey supplier directly and order plugs.But why would you switch from ceramic filters? I understand they are more desirable.

Amazon carries an adapter that threads into the lens barrel and allows you to use 67mm filters. It comes from overseas so it will take a few weeks to arrive. I have one and it works fine.

Probably yes, but depends what you are also putting in the bag. In mine, I have a Lumix G6 with 14-45mm, Lumix GF6 with 20mm, 45-200mm and small Metz flash. Still room for bits & pieces. If your 18-250mm is for APS-C, it may fill most of one compartment, but the ring flash will probably go in the other.

The adapter ring I got was a 51-58 mm adapter. It caused no problems but does add about a 3 or 4 mm length, and the UV and CP filters add a bit more. This requires a slightly larger case, but the camera now has the 'stuff' to do the job. Use rubber cement on the male threads of the adapter. This prevents the adapter ring from unscrewing when you twist the CP filter for the best photo.

Cool thanks! I have decided to order it. Just got it today! Excited to use it. Wondering where to get the filters for the glass attachments. Have to figure that out later. I know they last a while. So that will be figured out later I guess.

I purchased (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LTOCSG), but am still using the filters that came with the unit. The filters are really only a paper circle, I don't believe you'll find a stainless or ceramic to replace it.

I don't know about "6 new artistic filters", because when I bought my camera nothing mention about filters. Dealer will you please elaborate.

Absolutely, that is what I am using it for. But there are certain things to keep in mind. For example, the high speed shutter on the remote is much less effective than the high speed shutter on the camera. For that reason, I use bulb mode on the remote with the camera in high speed shutter mode. I think my review has more information about functionality with the G6.
