You have to measure it yourself with the dropper and chemicals. I have yet to see the automatic one of these and if it is out there its prob. super expensive. As far as sunrise/sunset and moon conditions ? You really don't need to be that in depth. If you really want, just Research what area the ray comes from and its cycles and then set your lights on a timer. You can also get night lights that simulate moonlight and put those on a timer as well. They also have wave makers for ocean going fish too Again all of this is SOOOOO overkill and not needed. All he needs is a proper day night cycle and a very health and clean tank with a sand bottom with near perfect water condition's. Stingrays are very hard to keep.

By the way, why do you want to create waves in a stingray tank? Freshwater stingrays are native to rivers, not the ocean. They have current but not waves in their natural habitat. Feshwater stingrays are rather difficult to keep healthy. Read as much as you can on them before you get one, and be sure you want to make that kind of commitment.
