I believe it to be more likely that the vibration comes from an unbalanced impeller. Did you modify it in any way? Is your rig very restrictive?
Maybe it is vibration traveling down the tubing itself. I would have thought the tubing would dampen the vibration significantly but it is thick walled Tygon.

I can feel the vibration in the reservoir with only a pump>1/2"tubing>reservoir>3/4"tubing>pump loop. I'd say that's not very restrictive.

I haven't modified the impeller. Is it really practical to do so?
