I have a 75 gallon I have a 300watt Chinese led light and a 165 watt beside that one so a total of 465watts on my tank is this too much I have algae now in my tank cause I used to have only two of the 165 watts now I have the big one so what would you run the lights on

The 300 watt on its own should be more than enough for a 75 gallon. How far off the waters surface do you have the light?
 
I want there to be all the lights the 300 doesn't cover every inch of my tank I want there to be no black spots that's why I have that many lights
 
You will likely only run them at a fraction of that wattage. Go ahead and use them all. Coverage is the biggest issue with LED, IMO... so cover as much as you can.
