Hi folks,
I have setup a re-indexing job on a sql2005 server.
It runs great. But...
in the morning the first Transaction log backup equals almost the size of the entire database. Am I missing something here.
I am looking at a similar job on SQL 7 and the transaction logs are not changing much from normal.

Possible, you may need backup log more frequently.

"in the morning"

Why is there an interval between the re-indexing and "the morning"?

Please backup your TLog every 10~15 minutes, regardless of Day or Night, so that your Re-index job is backed up at least as often as during normal working - in fact the re-index will almost certainly be generating more transaction traffic than normal usage.
