30min isn't long enough to cause problems but it's probably related some how. Are you certain power was only out for that long? Does your equipment start up properly after power outages?

Immediately put an air bubbler in the tank and place the powerhead near the surface of the water.

What is the size of your tank?
How many months has the tank been running?
What is the ammonia level?
Did you place your hands in the tank to do anything or did you add anything?

Take a sample of your water into the fish store, they may charge you $10.00. Atleast you will know everything.
