I don't see how that holds 24" of dirt, but you're telling me it does. Okay.

You should know that there is no mathematical equation for success with monitors. X amount of dirt does not get you X amount of lizard happiness. The idea that exactly 24" of substrate is optimal is laughable. If you did the research, and understood why they need deep substrate, what they use it for, you could figure it out on your own. There is no black-and-white solution.

The best thing that you could do is get it as deep as you can reasonably provide. That way, he can chill half-buried at the surface, or he could go wayyy down and literally chill out as he sees fit.
