I know you have to use dried oak leaves, old ones that is, not the new
ones off the tree, something to do about what the new ones leach off
into the water.....   now heres the stupid question part, ....... can
you use old dried up Poison Oak leaves with no harm to either you or
your fish?   Not that i intend to do so or use it my tap water is fine
without having to use oak leaves to soften it or lower pH..... just was
curious if a Poison Oak leaf would effect fish after it had been dried
up....??  Anyone know?

John,
    Poison Oak is no a species of oak but a variant of poison ivy. Don't try 
it.
