Demo the concrete floor and install proper drains and vents. The toilet rough should be 12" from the finished wall (you can get away with 10" with the right toilet).
Basement remodel question(s)
We are in the process of remodeling our basement and I've ran into a couple things that I think could be issues...
1. Drain where we want to put the shower is rusted and VERY slow to drain - I think it runs about 11' to the green lift station
2. Concerned the toilet is too close to concrete wall How far from the concrete wall should the toilet drain be?
Thoughts on both issues?
bad pic but the shower would be in the right hand corner and lift station is under the white structure

Ok so I did some more work this weekend. I was able to get the cover off and can pull up rust flakes. I have a plumber called an waiting for him to snake it out. I'm trying to figure out how I will run all the plumbing in this area. I'll need hot and cold water to 4 different locations in these two rooms and drains at all of those. From what I can tell I'll need to go back to the cast iron into the floor under the sink for 3 of them.
-I would use a 2" drain line through the studs for all of these right?
- I plan to use Pex for all the water lines. Would you run them over hte top and down or around and through the walls/studs?
This is our shower drain
The toilet flange was metal and is completely disintegrated. How will I attach a flange for the toilet? I forgot to take a picture after I took the wax ring off.

First the sewer ejector is not plumbed correct, it should be a Y not a TY for the discharge into the stack, you need to add vents to the fixtures, how are you going to connect a shower to that drain? there are some repair flanges you can use for re connecting the toilet..just do a search on Amazon for them..Ok so I did some more work this weekend.

Green - Ejector Pump
Red - existing drains
Blue - should I tear up concrete and replace/add these drains or plumb to the indicated drains (blue circles)
