Been looking high and low for this particular type of sand with no success. Can somebody point me the direction? Also roughly how much will this sand cost per packet? Many thanks in advance.

Never seen that brand for a while, I'm not sure if any fish shop still carry their product. You might want to consider other brand

I am intending to use the sand for cories. I do not wish to use the sudo bottom sand as i do not really like the colour. Looking to sand with colour of white or off-white. Can anyone help to suggest?

im interested to get white sand too,will europet sand affects the ph level of the water?

Will not affect ph. That is why i am using it despite being more expensive.

If the sand contains some traces of limestone in it, it will affect your pH. Do check the grains through the bag's plastic beforehand. If you see anything remotely resembling pieces of coral or sea shells fragments in the bag, don't use it unless you're keeping fishes like the Rift Lake cichlids.

White sand may look nice but Corydoras are known to produce fairly dark coloured poop depending on what they are fed. This can be unsightly after awhile, especially for people who love their sand beds nice and clean.
