For lighting I have 2 40 watt
tubes... 1) 10000K and one CoralLife Nutra Grow Plant lamp. This
gives me 80 watts for my 75 gallon.

That is not enough. That's why your plants aren't growing. I would at least
double that light. Another light strip, a shop light, something.

I suspect your algae problem will go away once your lighting is adequate.
