Can you take pictures or draw up a diagram that shows us where the old fixtures are located and the new toilet in relationship to the vent? Regards, Tom

It's a 3" pipe that goes straight to the septic and a pipe sticking out in the yard near the tank

Don't think you are going to be able to use a standard toilet, you need a Saniflow or up flush. You sewer drain leaves the house above the basement floor grade

What you have pictured doesn't look like a vent to me. It loos more like the house drain leaving your house.
Bob's bang on! You'll need a up flush unit such as Saniflo, (see image) to install a toilet in your basement. Good luck, tom
