Just set up my tank 2 weeks ago
And I notice this white color stuff on my drift wood ? How to get rid of this ?

That's just mold/fungus feeding on rotting parts of the wood, they will usually disappear on their own after the "food" is consumed. You can also just physically remove them too.

When your tank is cycled and you introduce in scavengers and algae-eaters like shrimps, they will also help eat up the mold/fungus too.
