chain tension

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here. I hope none of you are feeling the way I do, I feel like TTC flu...lately I cleaned my bike after a rain ride, then I spun my cranks just to check and it looks like my bb is sticky. It will spin about 4 times then stop. I hope I didn't damage it by setting my chain too tight. I set my chain at the point where the drive train has the least tension and pulled the rear wheel back from there as tight as I can and then tightened the dropout bolts. Could this be too tight?

Thanks in advance to all replies.
