Sure there are: powerhead fed recirculating skimmers!
But you do have a good point. ALL in sump skimmers (like the BK Minis) will suffer with fluctuating sump levels. It seems that BK Minis are more sensitive to this than most other skimmers perhaps because of the big air they can pull. I strongly suspect that Minis which do poorly are in such fluctuating sumps. Everything from the design of their bubble plates to the big air they pull suggest that they should be awesome performers. The only design criticism of the Minis that one could suggest is that there may be limited contact time for the bubbles before they hit the collection cup because of the pump's location within the skimmer body.
