JW -
I had to use 5/8" barbs because I am using a Rena XP2 filter. I was able to find 90 degree barbs at Ace Hardware. I know there is one in Woodstock, but if you have problems finding them there you can find them at the store on Highway 92 between Bells Ferry Rd. and Wade Green Rd. I believe that they are white/translucent in color. Ace is the place to find a lot of stuff that you can't find at Lowes or Home Depot.
As far as the cement goes, did you use PVC cement? I used the clear stuff that you can buy from Lowes. I also used the clear cleaner which is basically acetone to clean the ends and coupler fittings before using the cement. Just let it dry before joining with the PVC cement and then let cure for 24 to 36 hours.
If you did use the PVC cement, you should be ok. Just need to let it cure.
