Google the words "stingray envenomation."

There are some great articles with some tips.

Here is one of them.....http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic556.htm

I have it printed, in a binder to take to the hospital with me should something bad happen.

run your water in hot water.. the hottest you can stand... this would help relieve some
of the pain caused the toxin in the stinger. After that, consult medical treatment asap..

when you clean the tank don't startle it

Throw some salt on the wound...

that would be very painful and I highly advise against that.
