OK Thanks.

The light is now working, went back on on its own, sounds like an intermittent bad connection, if I electrocute myself my wife will have a 120 gallon reef for sale.

Hey, don't worry. Being electrocuted doesn't hurt... that much.
I used to do it on a regular basis and there is nothing wrong with me. (no matter what people say)

Now that it is working It is easy to find the right breaker to turn it off so you wont get electrocuted. If you have a loose connection it could cause a fire. Trip the breaker and pull down the fixture and check the marretts. Do the same for the light switches.

Also make sure that the light switches cannot be switched only part way. One light at my parents house would do that. If you didnt flip one switch all the way the light would go off but the other switch could not be used to turn it on again.
