Not too tight. You want a small amount of slack. If you tighten it too much the chain will make crunching noises. Spin the wheel and if it slows down quickly then it's definitely too tight. Loosen it up and start again. Don't be surprised if it takes several attempts to get it right.
Bike looks nice btw. I like the bare metal finish.
