Only one tensioner, pushing up away from the wheel. Idealy there would be more chain wrap around the middle wheels sprocket, but this was just to show one other, simpler option. regardless of your setup, chain stretch will occur, just plan on shortening your chain at some point.

This doesn't work. The middle wheel is spinning in the opposite direction of those on the ends.
