When you get running, you have to simulate that power outage again. Watch what happens when you turn the power back on. Do ALL the pumps come back on? Does the skimmer come back on? Do you have a skimmer? If not, this episode suggests that you should because they will add O2 to the water, especially after a power outage.
The other thing you might need is a battery operated pump that will bubble or move water during power outs.

it was low o2.. after the power outage everything came on, skimmer and all. My remaining fish have pulled through and seem to have lots of energy compared to this am. Tough lesson learned.. I am looking into a battery operated pump though..
