SLOW MOTION SCIENCE!  Ferrofluid dropping on magnet

Your channel is SO interesting, and your enthusiasm is SOOO contagious.  I'm a sea kayaker, so very interested in tides.  This video is the first explanation I've seen where I could make sense of the high tide on the far side of the earth away from the moon.  So, the moon pulls most strongly on the oceans closest to it, then less strongly on the earth itself, and even less strongly on the far oceans.  Hence the tear-drop effect and high tides on both sides.  BUT...  the solid earth is (mostly) more dense than the oceans -- so shouldn't the moon pull a little more strongly (all else being equal) on the earth than on the oceans?  If so -- are the high tides on the side of the earth farthest from the moon higher than the high tide on the near side?
