Adding to 75g with one clown

I recently purchased a 75g tank setup that only had one clownfish and 2 blue damsels. I moved the tank successfully have had it set up for a couple weeks. Water parameters are great, (I was worried as the tank was neglected by previous owner). I would really like to add more clowns (a pair) to the tank. I know the general rule is one pair per tank, but I'm not sure how to go about adding more in my situation, if i even can. The clown is 4-5 years old according to the previous owner and 2.5 inches long. So, can I add more clowns? How do I go about adding another?

Thanks
 
First off, welcome to Reef Central! When adding a new clownfish to an existing one, ALWAYS add a much smaller juvenile. The older, larger one is probly a female & will fight another (sometimes to death) close in size to establish dominance. btw, do you know what type of clownfish it is--perc, ocellaris, tomato...? Personally, I'd wait a bit before adding any more fish; & let the water parameters stabilize.
Good luck!

Thanks, I plan on waiting to add any fish until after Xmas, just trying to put a plan together. I was able to move most of the existing water and have been doing large water changes, so my waster levels have stabilized for the most part. I do not know what type it is but here's a pic if that helps.
