To this:

You need a special regulator (they're left-hand threads) and you need to be able to diffuse the O2 so that it gets dissolved easily in the wort. The regulators, I haven't seen available for sale separately at Depot, which is why I think most people end up getting them from one of the homebrew suppliers.

If you can save up a bit longer, it will be cheaper in the long run to purchase a small 20 CF industrial tank and welding regulator. Those small tanks are only 1.1 CF, IIRC, and if you aren't careful with those simple twist regulators, you can waste a lot of O2.
