chain won't stay tight

Hey all, i have a 1999 Blaster and I can't figure out why my chain keeps getting loose. I have a brand new chain/sprockets on it. At time's the chain will be perfectly tight, and other times it gets so loose i can hear it skipping. I'm almost 100% sure it's something to do with the rear axle moving a little, but i think i've tightened everything possible and not sure what i'm missing. Has anyone ever had this happen? Can people maybe take some pictures of a few angles of the rear axle so i can see exactly what it should look like, so I can tell if i'm missing something. If anyone has any suggestions i'm open to anything. I just want to get it fixed! Thanks!
