Well if the skimmer is still  working that mean that there was no short circuit in the tank.  Most power bar have a circuit breaker to prevent this. 
 
Probably a short circuit and electricity leaking in the tank would have killed everything at once.  I don't see how a fish can survive this, nor corals.  I have read about heaters craking and causing electrocution of the tank and everything was totaly dead..corals, fishes and all.

Are your power bars etc safely away from the floor. Surprised the skimmer is still working and didn't short out the pump. Check for a proper ground on your power ? I'm not an electrician but...
