power trip lead to many ... specially to heavily comm tank.
IMO,

no power -> not enough oxygen...
temperature rises too
ammonia went up and start poisoning...
nitrate -> nitrite supper fast.

Sadden to see this... Many years of feeding cost go to waste.

Actually it better to buy reliable product so won't cause it to trip...

overstocked tank.
14 fishes in that tank. (likely more fishes not in the pic)
Filtration is just a single layer OHF, no sump. (maybe canister hidden from pic)
looking at the water, either the power trip was very long or the water quality wasn't good to begin with.

Don't overstock your tank if you don't have the right equipment to deal with it. The aro might had survived if the bioload wasn't so high.
