So I've recently discovered that I've had a severe red flatworm infestation for about a year now in my 10g. They never harmed any of my corals and I thought they were a type of algae.

Instead of using Flatworm exit I used a freshwater rinse on my rocks in a separate empty tank, but now I've got a tank full of dead flatworms and orange water, which im assuming is poison. Where/How do I dispose of the water?
 
Do a relatively large water change, run carbon and you should be okay to just flush the water down the toilet. If that's what you're asking.
 
You’ll probably still need to use flatworm exit. I doubt you got them all.

It doesn’t kill the eggs , so it takes multiple doses to wipe them all out.

Definitely, I just used the freshwater rinse to get the majority out of the main tank
