PVC Plumbing Problem

I'm retrofitting a bog to my pond and I've run into a plumbing problem. I have a 3/4" black flex pvc hose connected to the pump. I have 2" pvc pipes in the bog, connected to a 2"-3/4" reducer bushing. I can't figure out what sort of fitting or contraption I need to connect the hose to the pipe. I have at my disposal, 3/4" pvc pipe and two PVC 3/4" adapter NPT Male x Socket. What do I need to make this work??:confused:

Well, it definitely would fit. But the bushing opening is threaded and the hose is spiral. I'm not sure it could glue in without leaks.

I'll need to be able to remove the hose from the piping in the winter, so I'm hoping to fasten the hose onto something using just a hose clamp, no glue. But thank you both for the ideas!

Oops, sorry about that! I didn't know the correct name for it....thought that if it flexed it was flex. Now I know. :)

The quick connects/unions I looked at were over $20 each! It would certainly be easier, but we don't have the money for that right now. I'm hoping that it might still be a possibility in the future.
