An elastic band works well, holds it in place until it attaches itself. Just don't do it too tight.

I make a "seatbelt" out of 2-part epoxy and use that to strap the stem down. It works really well.

I noticed the ball valve on your drain is restricted, what's the reason for that?

Try to find a way to block that light from hitting your skimmer or you will get algae growth in the column.

First off WOW that you noticed that way off in the corner!

Tiny back pressure quiets the sloshing plumbing. Didn't slow the main pump
Down just the big splashing sounds in the plumbing......
