having salt water come into contact with the eggs sounds risky. if you are sure that this wont happen, why not add salt. it wont help with the condensation, but can help prevent bacterias from growing in the water, if you add enough salt. but then, if you are sure salt water wont come into contact with the eggs, then water with bacteria also wont come into contact with the eggs, so i dont see the point. clean water should be just fine.

anyway, i can see your setup and design working fine just as it is. the only question i have: dont the eggs need a bit of fresh air every now and then? even while there are no breathing lungs yet, eggs still have some metabolism going on that requires a little bit of oxygen and releases a little bit of CO2. but im not sure.
