Take out some links and see how it is? Usually have to remove a link or two after a new chain anyway.

Halflinks are known to stretch and kink really easy. I'd go with a normal chain, and put one halfink in it to fit, and take off the tensioner.

Well if its a spring tenioner.your not supposed to tighten it that much because as soon as you pedal the tensioner moves and then your chain will be slack..its not stretching,the tensioner just moves and then your chain doesnt tension properly.Tighten the bolt on your tensioner so it can move but still springs back when you pull it.This is atleast what I think is your problem,but I could be wrong..
