Everything sounds okay

. With the condensation happening you might want to try a smaller water container or one with a smaller mouth. It will also be high if you have the water bowl under the light. Moving the bowl if it's under the light would help. Is the temperature 30ish where the eggs are?
The lid on the eggs is a great idea as it will keep the water from dripping on them. Just make sure one side is high enough to get good air circulation for the eggs.
A picture of your incubator would be great
