My nitrite is now .050, but the ph isn't really rising at all. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

At this point not much except maintain alkalinity at a decent level. Water changes should do that for you unless you are using a salt like oceanic that is naturally quite low in alk. You might try dissolving a quarter teaspoon of baking powder into your topup water , and dripping it in.
