Yikes, can someone who is better at math than I am help me figure out how much substrate I need to buy, lol?

Hey y’all, I apparently don’t know how to do math, lol. So, I’m building an 8’x4’x2’ indoor enclosure for my Russian. I’m planning on doing 12” of packed coconut coir as substrate, which means I’m likely going to have to buy in bulk. How much substrate do I need to buy? Or like, honestly, even if someone could tell me the relative volume of a hydrated, packed down coconut coir brick that would be super helpful. Thank you!

32 cubic feet. the hard part is translating that to the coir since its sold in varying units.

If the 5kg blocks yields 15-18 dry gallons, then it'd be 13-16 of those
