In a nutshell, I've been using a lot of ink sacs lately, and slaughtering a half dozen squids in a lake outside my house every day is getting a little repetitive. So I'm wondering what might be some good options for an automated squid farm? I'd rather not use Soul Shards since I haven't found a stronghold to go to the end yet.

Any good ideas for a squid grinder?

The first things that come to mind, don't know which apply to your modpack/tech level:
MFR - If you can catch a squid in a safari net, you should be able to set up an autospawner.
EE3 - Transmute other dyes into ink sacs.
IC2 - There should be a UU-matter recipe, I think.
Thaumic Tinkerer - If the transmutator is enabled in the config, I believe it could work here? (haven't had the chance to play with this one yet)
Vanilla - I recently watched a video for a vanilla squid farm, using a large cube of water suspended by signs.

Isn't UU-matter a bit expensive for some ink?The first things that come to mind, don't know which apply to your modpack/tech level:

Though your best bet me be EE3, at least it is the cheapest lol

Hmm, of those MFR might be the best solution for me, though it seems I need to make an essence farm first to keep it running.
EE3 might be the simplest but I really need to generate a decent supply of the stuff. I don't see how picking flowers my bees generate and turning those into ink sacs is any less work that manually finding and killing squids.
Also I guess before I discount Soul Shards completely, does any mod have a good way for finding a stronghold or otherwise acquiring endstone? I guess I might get lucky and find the mystcraft page but that hasn't happened yet.

If you've got MFR, the Rancher's pretty nice.
Trap a squid in a tank, point rancher at it, give rancher power, rancher "milks" ink sacs from squids. Hook it up to some pipes to pull the ink sacs out (that's what I did).
May want to have it hooked to a lever for on/off, that poor squid is going to give you so many ink sacs.
