A cover arrangement for a tank used as a terrarium or aquarium includes hook and loop fastener material secured as patches or a continuous strip to the upper rim surface of the tank opening, as well as to the upper side surfaces adjacent to the rim. The cover includes a mesh portion to enclose the tank opening, and a frame dimensioned to be secured to the rim of the tank. The frameincludes patches or a continuous strip of hook and loop material secured about the perimeter of the mesh portion and disposed to engage the hook and loop material on the upper rim of the tank. In addition, a plurality of tabs extend from the frame, one for each side of the tank. Each tab includes hook and loop material, and is joined to the cover frame along a respective crease line to be folded and matingly engaged at the upper side surfaces adjacent to the rim. In a further embodiment, a rim defines the tank opening, and a frame having an inverted J cross-sectional configuration is secured on the rim. A cover comprises a mesh portion secured within a perimeter support member that is dimensioned to be received on the frame in a sealing relationship. A retaining assembly comprises a strap secured at both ends to hook members adapted to engage the rim of the tank.. A strap adjustment mechanism formed in the strap permits adjustment of the strap to secure the cover with the strap under tension between the hooks, thereby preventing opening of the cover. The strap adjustment mechanism, which may comprise confronting hook and loop fabric fastener surfaces secured to the strapextending through a slot in one of the hooks, is easily adjusted or released manually.
