I have a Marine AIO 30.2. Is there an alternative media I can use instead of the filter socks?

Have you looked to see if filter media cups will work for your system? Some people also use mesh bags instead of socks.

You could use the inTank filter floss holders for the Cube 10, 15 and 20. That's what I just changed my 40.2 over to.

They aren't made specifically for the tank, but just cut the floss to the size of the chamber. No issues.

Here's a link showing them in my tank build thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/index.php?posts/6336751

Yeah. I'm a fan of filler media cups. I just put filter floss in them

I don't think anyone makes a cup for the AIO or Cube tanks, the socks are 2.75".

It sound like a great DIY opportunity! :)
