Is it possible in lightning to close a channel with simultanepusly sending all the local ballance (with the reserves)? If yes then is there a wallet implementation that supports it?

With chantools you can do it, maybe even for a regular channel (not zombie).

It would be two different transactions.
- An lighting transaction to send local balance.
- An on chain transaction to close the channel.
Because of the roughly instant transaction time of lightning and the ~10 min block time for on chain, you can not do it at the same time.

Won't the local reserve remain on yoir side in this way (in other words - have you tried this 🤔)?

I have not tried. I am not sure how one could coordinate simultaneous sending a lighting transaction and closing channel on chain at the same time.

Yeah, me too. That's why I decided to ask ☺️
