Does anyone know if I can soak drift wood from the ocean for a couple of
weeks to get the salt out and then use it in my fresh water aquarium. Or
is
there any other way.

Yes, you can. I soak it for a month or so, changing the water once in a
while, then leave it in the sun for some time, then soak it again until it
stays submerged by itself, then put it in the tank. It takes a while, but
theres plenty of driftwood around where I live.
